Thyristors 12 Amp Alternistor (High Commutation) Triacs RoHS Qxx12xHx Series Description This 12 Amp bidirectional solid state switch series is designed for AC switching and phase control applications such as motor speed and temperature modulation controls, lighting controls, and static switching relays. Standard alternistor triac components operate with in-phase signals in Quadrants I or III and ONLY unipolar negative gate pulses for Quadrant II or III. The alternistor triac will not operate in Quadrant IV. These are used in circuit applications requiring a high dv/dt capability. Features & Benefits RoHS-compliant No contacts to wear Agency Approval out from reaction of Glass passivated switching events junctions Agency Agency File Number Restricted (or limited) RFI Voltage capability up to E71639* generation, depending 1000 V on activation point sine * - L Package Only Surge capability up to wave 120 A Requires only a small Main Features T he L-package has gate activation pulse in an isolation rating of each half-cycle Symbol Value Unit 2500V RMS Recognized to UL 1557 I 12 A Solid-state switching T(RMS) as an Electrically Isolated eliminates arcing or V /V 400, 600, 800 or 1000 V Semiconductor Device DRM RRM contact bounce that I 10 or 50 mA GT (Q1) create voltage transients Schematic Symbol Applications Excellent for AC switching and phase control applications such as heating, lighting, and motor speed controls. MT2 MT1 Typical applications are AC solid-state switches, light dimmers, power tools, lawn care equipment, home/brown goods and white goods appliances. G Alternistor Triacs (no snubber required) are used in applications with extremely inductive loads requiring highest commutation performance. Internally constructed isolated packages are offered for ease of heat sinking with highest isolation voltage.
