The NTE5620 TRIAC is designed primarily for full–wave AC control applications, such as light dim-
mers, heater controls, motor controls, and power supplies; or wherever full wave silicon gate con-
trolled solid state devices are needed. TRIAC type thyristors switch from a blocking to a conducting
state for either polarity of applied voltage with positive or negative gate triggering.
Features:
D Blocking Voltage – 800 Volts
D All Diffused and Glass Passivated Junctions for Greater Parameter Uniformity and Stability
D Small, Rugged, TO220 Full Pack for Low Thermal Resistance, High Heat Dissipation, and Durability
D Gate Triggering Guaranteed in Four Modes
Absolute Maximum Ratings:
