About this manual

The NTE56051 and NTE56052 are low‑logic‑level TRIACs packaged in TO‑220, designed for general‑purpose bidirectional switching and phase‑control circuits. They can be driven directly from microcontrollers, logic ICs, or other low‑power gate drivers.

Key ratings include an RMS on‑state current of 8 A, off‑state voltage ratings of 500 V (56051) and 600 V (56052), a peak gate current of 2 A and peak gate voltage of 5 V, and a maximum junction temperature of +125 °C. The devices also specify thermal resistance values and a storage temperature range of –40 °C to +150 °C.
