General description

Planar passivated high commutation three quadrant triac in a SOT78 (TO-220AB) 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.

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

• Sensitive gate for easy logic level triggering

• Triggering in three quadrants only

Applications

• Electronic thermostats (heating and cooling)

• High power motor controls e.g. washing machines and vacuum cleaners
