This series enables easier thermal management and higher surge handling capability in AC power control applications such as heater control, motor speed control, lighting controls, and static switching relays. Alternistor TRIAC operates in quadrants I, II, & III and offers high performance in applications requiring high commutation capability. 

- in applications requiring high commutation capability. **Features & Benefits** 

- ~~[Po~~ •   Recognized to UL 1557 •   No contacts to wear as an Electrically Isolated out from reaction of Semiconductor Devices switching events 

- Glass – passivated •   Restricted (or limited) RFI junctions generation, depending on activation point sine 

- •   Surge capability up to wave 

- 120 A 

- Requires only a small 

- •   The L-package has gate activation pulse in 

- an isolation rating of each half-cycle 

- 2500VRMS 

- RoHS-compliant 

- •   Solid-state switching eliminates arcing or contact bounce that 

create voltage transients

Careful selection of the correct component for the application’s operating parameters and environment will go a long way toward extending the operating life of the Thyristor. Good design practice should limit the maximum continuous current through the main terminals to 75% of the component rating. Other ways to ensure long life for a power discrete semiconductor are proper heat sinking and selection of voltage ratings for worst case conditions. Overheating, overvoltage (including dv/dt), and surge currents are the main killers of semiconductors. Correct mounting, soldering, and forming of the leads also help protect against component damage.
