NTE56040 & NTE56041
TRIAC, 4A Sensitive Gate
Description:
The NTE56040 and NTE56041 are glass passivated, sensitive gate TRIACs in a TO220 type package
designed for use in general purpose bidirectional switching and phase control applications, where
high sensitivity is required in all four quadrants.

Note 1. Although not recommended, off–state voltages up to 800V may be applied without damage,
but the TRIAC may switch to the On–State. The rate–of–rise of current should not exceed
3A/µs.
