Thyristors Datasheet
MAC15 Series
TRIAC – 400V - 800V
RoHS
Pb
Description
Designed primarily for full-wave ac control applications, such as
solid−state relays, 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 main terminal
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
■ Small, Rugged, Thermowatt
Construction for Low Thermal
Resistance, High Heat
Dissipation and Durability
Additional Information
■ Gate Triggering Guaranteed in
Three Modes (MAC15 Series)
or Four Modes (MAC15A
Series)
■ These Devices are Pb−Free
and are RoHS Compliant

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. Ratings apply for zero or negative gate voltage; however, positive gate voltage shall not be applied concurrent with negative potential on the anode. Blocking voltages
shall not be tested with a constant current source such that the voltage ratings of the devices are exceeded.
