Triacs
MAC212FP Series MAC212AFP Series
ISOLATED TRIACs THYRISTORS 12 AMPERES RMS 200 thru 800 VOLTS
Silicon Bidirectional 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.
