MOTOROLA MAC15 series MAC15A series datasheet
This document provides technical data for the Motorola MAC15 series of Silicon Bidirectional Triode Thyristors (TRIACs). These devices are designed primarily for full-wave AC control applications, such as solid-state relays, motor controls, heating controls, and power supplies. The thyristors switch from a blocking to a conducting state for either polarity of applied anode voltage with positive or negative gate triggering.
