Description

The ACST12 series belongs to the ACS/ACST family built with the ASD (application specific discrete) technology. This high performance device is adapted to home appliances or industrial systems and drives loads up to 12 A.

Features

■ Triac with overvoltage crowbar technology

■ Low IGT (<10 mA) or high immunity (IGT<35 mA) version

■ High noise immunity: static dV/dt > 2000 V/µs

Benefits

■ Enables equipment to meet IEC 61000-4-5

■ High off-state reliability with planar technology

■ Need no external over voltage protection

■ Reduces the power passive component count

■ High immunity against fast transients described in IEC 61000-4-4 standards

Applications

■ AC mains static switching in appliance and industrial control systems

■ Drive of medium power AC loads like:

– Universal drum motor of washing machine

– Compressor for fridge or air conditioner
