Triacs
Silicon Bidirectional Thyristors
. . . designed primarily for full-wave ac control applications, such as light dimmers,
motor controls, heating controls and power supplies.
• Blocking Voltage to 800 Volts
• Glass Passivated Junctions for Greater Parameter Uniformity and Stability
• Isolated TO-220 Type Package for Ease of Mounting
• Gate Triggering in Three Modes (MAC218FP Series) or
Four Modes (MAC218AFP Series)

1. VDRM for all types can be applied on a continuous basis. Blocking voltages shall not be tested with a constant current source such that the
voltage ratings of the devices are exceeded.
2. The case temperature reference point for all TC measurements is a point on the center lead of the package as close as possible to the plastic
body.
