Surface Mount – 200V-600W > 2N6071A/B Series
2N6071A/B Series
Pb
Description
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.

Mounting Torque (6-32 Screw) (Note 2)
Stresses exceeding Maximum Ratings may damage the device. Maximum Ratings are stress ratings only. Functional operation above the Recommended Operating Conditions is not implied. Extended exposure to stresses above the
Recommended Operating Conditions may affect device reliability.
1. VDRM and VRRM 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. Torque rating applies with use of a compression washer. Mounting torque in excess of 6 in. lb. does not appreciably lower case-to-sink thermal resistance. Main terminal 2 and heatsink contact pad are common.

Trigger devices are recommended for gating on Triacs. They provide:
1. Consistent predictable turn-on points.
2. Simplified circuitry.
3. Fast turn-on time for cooler, more efficient and reliable operation.
