16 A High Temperature Alternistor Triacs
RoHS
Description
This 16 A high temperature Alternistor TRIAC, offered in
TO-220AB, TO-220 isolated, and TO-263 packages, has 150 °C
maximum junction temperature (TJ) and 200 A ITSM (60 Hz).
This series enables easier thermal management and higher surge
handling capability in AC power control applications such as
heater control, motor speed control, lighting controls, and static
switching relays. Alternistor TRIAC operates in quadrants I, II, and
III, and offers high performance in applications requiring high
commutation capability.

Design Considerations
Temperature/Humidity
Careful selection of the correct component for the application’s
operating parameters and environment will go a long way toward
extending the operating life of the Thyristor. Good design practice
should limit the maximum continuous current through the main
terminals to 75% of the component rating. Other ways to ensure
long life for a power discrete semiconductor are proper heat sinking
and selection of voltage ratings for worst case conditions.
Overheating, overvoltage (including dv/dt), and surge currents are
the main killers of semiconductors. Correct mounting, soldering, and
forming of the leads also help protect against component damage.
