Product data sheet
1. Product profile
1.1 General description
Planar passivated high commutation three quadrant triac in a SOT78 plastic package.
This "series E" triac balances the requirements of commutation performance and gate
sensitivity. The "sensitive gate" "series E" is intended for interfacing with low power drivers
including microcontrollers.
1.2 Features and benefits
3Q technology for improved noise
immunity
Direct interfacing with low power
drivers and microcontrollers
Good immunity to false turn-on by
dV/dt
High commutation capability with
sensitive gate
High voltage capability
Planar passivated for voltage
ruggedness and reliability
Triggering in three quadrants only
1.3 Applications
Electronic thermostats
General purpose motor controls
