General description
AC Thyristor Triac power switch in a SOT78 (TO-220AB) plastic package with selfprotective clamping capabilities against low and high energy transients. This "series CTN" triac will commutate the full RMS current at the maximum rated junction temperature (Tj(max) = 150 °C) without the aid of a snubber. It is used in applications where "high junction operating temperature capability" is required.

FEATUREs and benefits
• Clamping structure ensuring safe high over-voltage withstand capability
• High junction operating temperature capability (Tj(max) = 150 °C)
• High minimum IGT for guaranteed immunity to gate noise
• Full cycle AC conduction
• Over-voltage withstand capability to IEC 61000-4-5
• Pin compatible with standard triacs
• Protective self turn-on capability for high energy transients
• Safe clamping capability for low energy over-voltage transients
• Less sensitive gate for high noise immunity
• Triggering in three quadrants only
• Planar passivated for voltage ruggedness and reliability
• High commutation capability with maximum false trigger immunity
• Very high immunity to false turn-on by dV/dt and IEC 61000-4-4 fast transient
• Package is RoHS compliant
• Package meets UL94V0 flammability requirement

APPLICATIONs
• Electronic themostats (heating and cooling)
• High power motor controls e.g washing machine and vacuum cleaners
• Rectifier-fed DC inductive loads e.g DC motors and solenoids
• Refrigeration and air conditioning compressors
• Applications subject to high temperature (Tj(max) = 150 °C)
