The PDF file is the data sheet of Motorola MAC218 series silicon bidirectional thyristors. It mainly introduces the features and characteristics of the series thyristors, including peak repetitive off-state voltage, on-state current, peak non-repetitive surge current, fusing current, peak gate power, average gate power, peak gate trigger current, etc.
This document provides technical data for the Motorola MAC218 and MAC218A Series Triacs, which are silicon bidirectional thyristors designed primarily for full-wave AC control applications such as light dimmers, motor controls, and heating controls. The devices feature blocking voltages up to 800 Volts and an RMS current rating of 8 Amperes.
