Phototriacs offer static dV/dt of 5 kV/s.

Zero-Crossing and Non-Zero-Crossing Phototriacs isolate low-voltage logic from high-voltage power mains in industrial systems running off 120, 240, and 380 Vac lines. All models feature isolation test voltage of 5,300 Vrms and on-state current of 300 mA. Designers can choose from trigger currents of 1.6, 2, or 3 mA, simplying interface to logic circuits, as well as blocking voltages of 400 or 600...

Phototriac Optocouplers provide dV/dt greater than 5 kV/-µs.

Encased in 6-pin DIP package, zero-crossing Series VO4157 and VO4158 consist of GaAs infrared LED that is optically coupled to photosensitive ZC TRIAC detector chip, minimizing EMI noise harmonics. Non-zero-crossing Series VO4257 and VO4258 can trigger any time during ac phase cycle and turn off at next zero crossing. Both families have trigger currents of 1.6 mA and are suited for switching ac...

SCRs and TRIACS suit range of power switching applications.

Silicon Controlled Rectifiers, Series CYNB40 and CYNB55 are rated to 40 and 55 A, respectively, and come in non-isolated package. With surge rating of 700 A, Series CYNB55 is suited for applications where high surge currents can occur. Series CTA/CTB Triacs are offered in 30 A rating in isolated package and 35 A rating in non-isolated package. Same ratings are available for high temperature...

Triacs optimize performance in consumer appliances.

Triacs optimize performance in consumer appliances.

Model FKPF12N60 and Model FKPF12N80 are 600 and 800 V triacs, respectively. High efficiency is achieved with low on-state loss of 1.5 V max. Designed with planar silicon structure, standard 12 A units are suitable for switching inductive loads. Both triacs are housed in isolated TO-220F packages. Applications include washing machines, vacuum cleaners, dimmers, remote switches, and ac motor...
