General description

Planar passivated sensitive gate four quadrant triac in an internally insulated SOT78D (TO-220AB) plastic package intended for use in general purpose bidirectional switching and phase control applications. This sensitive gate series E triac can be interfaced directly to microcontrollers, logic integrated circuits and other low power gate trigger circuits. The internally insulated mounting base gives good thermal performance combined with ease of handling and assembly by the user.
