12 Amp Alternistor (High Communitation) Triacs
Qxx12xHx Series
Qxx12xHx Series
Description
12 Amp bi-directional 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.
Alternistor type devices only operate in quadrants I, II, & III
and are used in circuits requiring high dv/dt capability.
Main Features
Symbol Value Unit
IT(RMS) 12 A
VDRM /VRRM 400 to 1000 V
IGT (Q1) 10 to 50 mA
Features & Benefits
• RoHS Compliant
• Glass – passivated
junctions
• Voltage capability up to
1000 V
• Surge capability up to
120 A
• Electrically isolated
“L-Package” is UL
recognized for 2500Vrms
• Solid-state switching
eliminates arcing or
contact bounce that
create voltage transients
• No contacts to wear
out from reaction of
switching events
• Restricted (or limited) RFI
generation, depending
on activation point sine
wave
• Requires only a small
gate activation pulse in
each half-cycle
Schematic Symbol
Applications
Excellent for AC switching and phase control applications
such as heating, lighting, and motor speed controls.
Typical applications are AC solid-state switches, light
dimmers, power tools, lawn care equipment, home/brown
goods and white goods appliances.
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.

Design Considerations
Careful selection of the correct device for the application’s
operating parameters and environment will go a long way
toward extending the operating life of the Thyristor. Good
design practice should limit the maximum continuous
current through the main terminals to 75% of the device
rating. Other ways to ensure long life for a power discrete
semiconductor are proper heat sinking and selection of
voltage ratings for worst case conditions. Overheating,
overvoltage (including dv/dt), and surge currents are
the main killers of semiconductors. Correct mounting,
soldering, and forming of the leads also help protect
against component damage.
