Silicon Bidirectional Triode Thyristors
. . . 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.
Blocking Voltage to 800 Volts
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
Gate Triggering Guaranteed in Two Modes (2N6342, 2N6343, 2N6344, 2N6345)
or Four Modes (2N6346, 2N6347, 2N6348, 2N6349)
