Thyristors **Datasheet** 

**MAC15 Series** TRIAC – 400V - 800V 

**RoHS** Pb 

## **Description** 

Designed primarily for full-wave ac control applications, such as solid−state relays, 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 main terminal voltage with positive or negative gate triggering. 

## **Features** 

## **Additional Information** 

   - Gate Triggering Guaranteed in Three Modes (MAC15 Series) or Four Modes (MAC15A Series) 

- Blocking Voltage to 800 V 

- All Diffused and Glass Passivated Junctions for Greater Parameter Uniformity and Stability 

   - These Devices are Pb−Free 

- Small, Rugged, Thermowatt and are RoHS Compliant Construction for Low Thermal Resistance, High Heat

Stresses exceeding Maximum Ratings may damage the device. Maximum Ratings are stress ratings only. Functional operation above the Recommended Operating Conditions is not implied. Extended exposure to stresses above the Recommended Operating Conditions may affect device reliability. 

1. VDRM and VRRM for all types can be applied on a continuous basis. Ratings apply for zero or negative gate voltage; however, positive gate voltage shall not be applied concurrent with negative potential on the anode. Blocking voltages shall not be tested with a constant current source such that the voltage ratings of the devices are exceeded.
