12 Amp Alternistor (High Communitation) Triacs
RoHS
Qxx12xHx Series
Description
This 12 Amp bidirectional solid state switch series is
designed for AC switching and phase control applications
such as motor speed and temperature modulation controls,
lighting controls, and static switching relays.
Standard alternistor triac components operate with in-phase
signals in Quadrants I or III and ONLY unipolar negative gate
pulses for Quadrant II or III. The alternistor triac will not
operate in Quadrant IV. These are used in circuit applications
requiring a high dv/dt capability.

Typical applications are AC solid-state switches, light
dimmers, power tools, lawn care equipment, home/brown
goods and white goods appliances.
G
AlternistorTriacs (no snubber required) are used in
applications with extremely inductive loads requiring
highest commutation performance.
Internally constructed isolated packages are offered for
ease of heat sinking with highest isolation voltage.
