Description
Available in through-hole, the T8T series of Triacs
can be used as on/off or phase angle control
function in general purpose ac switching where
high commutation capability is required.
This series can be designed in many value
sensitive appliances thanks to the parameters
guidance provided in the following pages.
Provides insulation rated at 2500 V rms
(TO-220AB insulated package).
