This document introduces the characteristics and parameters of the MAC212FP series of silicon bidirectional thyristors. Thyristors are semiconductor switches that can operate in either polarity with positive or negative gate triggering. The series features blocking voltages up to 800 volts and is designed for full-wave AC control applications such as dimmers, motor controls, heating controls, and power supplies.
This document provides technical data for the Motorola MAC212FP and MAC212AFP series of silicon bidirectional thyristors (Triacs). These devices are designed primarily for full-wave AC control applications, such as light dimmers, motor controls, and heating controls. The series offers blocking voltages ranging from 200 to 800 volts and an RMS current rating of 12 amperes.
| RMS Isolation Voltage | 1500 Volts |
|---|---|
| Operating Junction Temperature | -40 to +125 °C |
| Peak Nonrepetitive Surge Current | 100 Amps |
| On-State RMS Current | 12 Amps |
| Thermal Resistance, Junction to Case | 24 °C/W |
They are designed primarily for full-wave AC control applications, such as light dimmers, motor controls, heating controls and power supplies.
The MAC212FP Series guarantees gate triggering in three modes, while the MAC212AFP Series guarantees triggering in four modes.
