Motorola Thyristor Device Data is a data document about silicon bidirectional thyristors, primarily designed for full-wave AC control applications such as light dimmers, motor controls, heating controls, and power supplies. Its features include a blocking voltage of up to 800 volts, glass passivated junctions for greater parameter uniformity and stability, isolated TO-220 package for ease of mounting, and gate triggering in four modes.
This document provides technical data for the Motorola MAC218AFP Series of Silicon Bidirectional Thyristors (Isolated Triacs). These devices are designed primarily for full-wave AC control applications, such as light dimmers, motor controls, heating controls, and power supplies. The series offers blocking voltages ranging from 400 to 800 volts and an RMS current rating of 8 amperes.
| Peak Repetitive Off-State Voltage | 400, 600, or 800 Volts |
|---|---|
| On-State RMS Current | 8 Amps |
| Peak Nonrepetitive Surge Current | 100 Amps |
| RMS Isolation Voltage | 1500 Volts |
| Operating Junction Temperature | -40 to +125 °C |
| Thermal Resistance, Junction to Case | 22 °C/W |
The devices use an Isolated TO-220 Type Package.
The devices support gate triggering in four modes (MT2(+), G(+); MT2(+), G(-); MT2(-), G(-); MT2(-), G(+)).
