Thyristors
Surface Mount – 400V - 800V > MAC15 Series
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
Features
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.

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. Ratings apply for zero or negative gate voltage; however, positive gate voltage shall not be applied concurrent with negative
potential on the anode. Blocking voltages shall not be tested with a constant current source such that the voltage ratings of the devices are exceeded.
