MOTOROLA SEMICONDUCTOR TECHNICAL DATA MAC212 Series MAC212A Series Triacs Silicon Bidirectional Thyristors . . . designed primarily for full-wave ac control applications, such as light dimmers, 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 anode voltage with positive or negative gate triggering. * Blocking Voltage to 800 Volts * 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 (MAC212 Series) or Four Modes (MAC212A Series) TRIACs 12 AMPERES RMS 200 thru 800 VOLTS MT1 MT2 G CASE 221A-04 (TO-220AB) STYLE 4 MAXIMUM RATINGS (TJ = 25C unless otherwise noted.)
