HTxxx & HTMxxx & STxxx Series
Standard Bidirectional DIAC Trigger
DIACs
HTxxx & HTMxxx & STxxx Series
The HTM, HT, and ST series of bilateral trigger DIACs offer
a range of voltage characteristics from 27V to 70V. A DIAC
semiconductor is a full-wave or bidirectional Thyristor. It is
triggered from a blocking state to a conduction state for
either polarity of applied voltage whenever the amplitude of
applied voltage exceeds the breakover voltage of the DIAC.

DIACs are used to trigger Triacs and SCRs in phase control
circuits for lamp dimming, universal motor speed control,
and heat control. They are used also for triggering
transistors in solid state ballast lighting controls.

Notes:
1. Package contour optional within dimensions A and C. Slugs, if any, shall be included
within this cylinger but shall not be subject to
the minimum limit of Dimention A.
2. Lead diameter is not controlled in this zone to allow for flash, lead finish build-up and
minor irregularities other than slugs.
Careful selection of the correct device for the applications
operating parameters and environment will go a long
way toward extending the operating life of the Thyristor.
Overheating and surge currents are the main killers of
DIACs. Correct mounting, soldering, and forming of the
leads also help protect against component damage.
