MAC212

MOTOROLA SEMICONDUCTOR TECHNICAL DATA Triacs Silicon Bidirectional Thyristors . . . designed primarily for full-wave ac control applications, such as light dimmers, motor controls, heating controls and power supplies; or wherever full-wave silicon gate controlled solid-state devices are needed. Triac type thyristors switch from a blocking to a conducting state for either polarity of applied anode voltage with positive or negative gate triggering. Blocking Voltage to 800 Volts All Diffused and Glass Passivated Junctions for Greater Parameter Uniformity and Stability Small, Rugged, Thermowatt Construction for Low Thermal Resistance, High Heat Dissipation and Durability Gate Triggering Guaranteed in Three Modes (MAC212 Series) or Four Modes (MAC212A Series) MAC212 Series MAC212A Series TRIACs 12 AMPERES RMS 200 thru 800 VOLTS MT1 MT2 G CASE 221A-04 (TO-220AB) STYLE 4 MAXIMUM RATINGS (TJ = 25°C unless otherwise noted.)
