MAC15A4/D
MAC15 Series
Triacs
Silicon Bidirectional Thyristors
Designed primarily for full-wave ac control applications, such as
solid−state relays, 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 main terminal voltage
with positive or negative gate triggering.
Features
•Blocking Voltage to 800 V
•All Diffused and Glass Passivated Junctions for Greater Parameter
Uniformity and Stability
•Small, Rugged, Thermowatt Construction for Low Thermal
Resistance, High Heat Dissipation and Durability
•Gate Triggering Guaranteed in Three Modes (MAC15 Series) or
Four Modes (MAC15A Series)
•These Devices are Pb−Free and are RoHS Compliant*

Stresses exceeding Maximum Ratings may damage the device. Maximum
Ratings are stress ratings only. Functional operation above the Recommended
Operating Conditions is not implied. Extended exposure to stresses above the
Recommended Operating Conditions may affect device reliability.
1. VDRM and VRRM for all types can be applied on a continuous basis. Blocking
voltages shall not be tested with a constant current source such that the
voltage ratings of the devices are exceeded.
