Motorola Thyristor Device Data is a datasheet about Motorola Thyristor devices. These devices are primarily designed for full wave AC control applications, such as motor controls, heating controls, or dimmers, where full-wave, silicon gate-controlled devices are needed. They have high commutating di/dt and high immunity to dv/dt at 125°C. The devices minimize the need for snubber networks for protection. They have a blocking voltage of up to 800 volts, an on-state current rating of 16 amperes RMS, and a high surge current capability of 150 amperes. The devices come in an industry-standard TO-220AB package for ease of design, and they have glass passivated junctions for reliability and uniformity.
This document provides technical specifications for the Motorola MAC16C Series of Silicon Bidirectional Thyristors (TRIACs). Designed primarily for full-wave AC control applications such as motor controls, heating controls, and dimmers, these devices feature high commutating di/dt and dv/dt immunity at 125°C. The series includes three voltage variants: MAC16CD (400V), MAC16CM (600V), and MAC16CN (800V), all with an on-state current rating of 16 Amperes RMS.
