Motorola Thyristor Device Data

Triacs

Silicon Bidirectional Triode Thyristors

. . . designed primarily for full-wave ac control applications, such as lighting systems,

heater controls, motor controls and power supplies; or wherever full-wave silicon-

gate-controlled devices are needed.

• Off-State Voltages to 800 Volts

• All Diffused and Glass Passivated Junctions for Parameter Uniformity and Stability

• Small, Rugged Thermowatt Construction for Thermal Resistance and High Heat

Dissipation

• Gate Triggering Guaranteed in Three Modes (MAC223FP Series) or

Four Modes (MAC223AFP Series)

1. VDRM for all types can be applied on a continuous basis. Blocking voltages shall not be tested with a constant current source such that the

voltage ratings of the devices are exceeded.

2. The case temperature reference point for all TC measurements is a point on the center lead of the package as close as possible to the plastic

body.
