| Peak Off-State Voltage (VDRM) | 600V | Blocking voltage; 800V variants available |
| Non-Repetitive Surge Current (ITSM) | 25A | Peak current for one cycle (t=20ms) |
| Gate Trigger Current (IGT) | 7mA - 25mA | Varies by quadrant and variant |
| Gate Trigger Voltage (VGT) | 1.45V | Voltage required to trigger the gate |
| Holding Current (IH) | 15mA | Minimum current to keep the triac on |
Sensitive Gate - Allows for direct control by microcontrollers and logic circuits
High Surge Current - 25A capacity ensures robustness for demanding applications
Glass Passivated Junction - Provides reliability and high thermal cycling performance
Bidirectional Operation - Conducts current in both directions for AC control
√ Ready to use Standard TO126 package for easy mounting
√ Sensitive gate - Low trigger current for simple control circuits
√ Highly reliable Glasspassivated surface for stable operation
-Avoid exceeding the maximum junction temperature of 125°C
-Avoid using without a suitable snubber circuit for inductive loads to prevent false triggering
Avoid applying a gate voltage that exceeds the maximum gate ratings consult the datasheet
