Motorola Thyristor Device Data

Triacs

Silicon Bidirectional Triode 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 Two Modes (2N6342, 2N6343, 2N6344, 2N6345)

or Four Modes (2N6346, 2N6347, 2N6348, 2N6349)

• For 400 Hz Operation, Consult Factory

• 12 Ampere Devices Available as 2N6342A thru 2N6349A
