Thyristors Datasheet
2N6344
Surface Mount – 600-800V
Pb
Description
The 2N6344 is 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.
Features
■ Blocking Voltage to 800 V
■ All Diffused and Glass
Passivated Junctions for
Greater Parameter Uniformity
and Stability
Additional Information
Resources
Accessories
■ Small, Rugged, Thermowatt
Construction for Low Thermal
Resistance, High Heat
Dissipation and Durability
Samples
■ Gate Triggering Guaranteed in
all Four Quadrants
■ For 400 Hz Operation,
Consult Factory
■ Pb−Free Package is Available
