Teccor brand line of sensitive gate triacs includes devices with current capabilities through 8A. Voltage ranges are available from 200V to 600V. This line features devices with guaranteed gate control in Quadrants II and IV as well as control in the commonly used Quadrants I and III. Four-quadrant control devices require sensitive gate triacs. They can be controlled by digital circuitry where positive-only or negative-only pulses must control AC current in both directions through the device. Note that triacs with low IGT values in Quadrants II and IV will have lower dv/dt characteristics.
The sensitive gate triac is a bidirectional AC switch and is gate controlled for either polarity of main terminal voltage. It is used primarily for AC switching and phase control applications such as motor speed controls, temperature modulation controls, and lighting controls.
The epoxy TO-92 and TO-220 configurations feature Littelfuse's electrically-isolated construction where the case or mounting tab is internally isolated from the semiconductor chip and lead attachments. Non-isolated epoxy TO-202 packages are available as well as TO-251 and surface mount TO-252 (D-Pak). Tapeand-reel capability and tube packing also are available.
All Teccor triacs have glass-passivated junctions. This glassing process prevents migration of contaminants and ensures longterm device reliability with parameter stability.
Variations of devices covered in this data sheet are available for custom design applications. Consult factory for more information.
Notes:
- All measurements are made at 60Hz with a resistive load at an ambient temperature of +25°C unless otherwise specified.
- Operating temperature range (Tj) is -65°C to +110°C for TO-92 devices and -40°C to +110°C for all other devices.
- Storage temperature range (Ts) is -65°C to +150°C for TO-92 devices, -40°C to +150°C for TO-202 devices, and -40°C to +125°C for TO-220 devices.
- Lead solder temperature is a maximum of 230°C for 10 s maximum at a minimum of 1/16"(1.59 mm) from case.
- The case or lead temperature (Tc or Tl) is measured as shown on dimensional outline drawings. See Package Dimensions.
