DESCRIPTION

· Bidirectional thyristors for AC power line interface.
· Switches from blocking to low voltage on-state at breakover voltage.
· Conducts like a Triac until current drops below holding level.
· Axial lead package offers cost-effective high pulse current capability.
· Glass passivation ensures operational reliability.

FEATURES

· Designed for direct AC power line connection.
· Transitions to on-state upon reaching breakover voltage.
· Continues conduction similar to a Triac.
· High pulse current capacity in a plastic axial lead package.
· Reliable performance due to glass passivation.

APPLICATIONS

· High-pressure sodium vapor lighting.
· Strobe and flasher systems.
· Ignition systems.
· High voltage regulators.
· Pulse generation circuits.
· Triggering gates of SCRs and Triacs.
