2N6071A/B Series
Preferred Device
Sensitive Gate Triacs
Silicon Bidirectional Thyristors
Designed primarily for full‐wave AC control applications, such as
light dimmers, motor controls, heating controls and power supplies; or
wherever full‐wave silicon gate controlled solid‐state devices are
needed. Triac type thyristors switch from a blocking to a conducting
state for either polarity of applied anode voltage with positive or
negative gate triggering.

Stresses exceeding Maximum Ratings may damage the device. Maximum Ratings are stress ratings only. Functional operation above the
Recommended Operating Conditions is not implied. Extended exposure to stresses above the Recommended Operating Conditions may affect
device reliability.

RRM
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. Torque rating applies with use of a compression washer. Mounting torque in excess of 6 in. lb. does not appreciably lower case‐to‐sink thermal
resistance. Main terminal 2 and heatsink contact pad are common.

Trigger devices are recommended for gating on Triacs. They provide:
1. Consistent predictable turn‐on points.
2. Simplified circuitry.
3. Fast turn‐on time for cooler, more efficient and reliable operation.
