SEMICONDUCTOR TECHNICAL DATA
Triacs
Silicon Bidirectional Triode Thyristors
. . . designed primarily for full-wave ac control applications such as lighting sysjtems,
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 (MAC223 Series) or Four Modes
(MAC223A Series)
