Alternistor Triacs

(6 – 40 Amps)

General Description

Teccor offers bidirectional alternistors with current ratings from

6 to 40 amperes and voltages from 200 to 1000 volts as part of

Teccor's broad line of thyristors. Teccor's alternistor has been

specifically designed for applications that switch highly inductive

loads. A special chip offers the same performance as two thyris-

tors (SCRs) wired inverse parallel (back-to-back), providing bet-

ter turn-off behavior than a standard triac. An alternistor may be

triggered from a blocking to conduction state for either polarity of

applied AC voltage with operating modes in Quadrants I, II, and

III.

This new chip construction provides two electrically separate

SCR structures, providing enhanced dv/dt characteristics while

retaining the advantages of a single chip device.

All alternistors have glass-passivated junctions to ensure long

term reliability and parameter stability. Teccor's glass offers a reli-

able barrier against junction contamination.

These alternistors are offered in TO-218X, TO-218AC, FastPak,

and TO-220AB packages. Teccor's TO-218X package has been

designed for heavy, steady power-handling capability. It features

large eyelet terminals for ease of soldering heavy gauge hook-up

wire. All the isolated packages have a standard isolation voltage

rating of 2500VRMS.

Variations of devices covered in this data sheet are available for

custom design applications. Please consult factory for further

information.

Features

• High surge current capability

• Glass-passivated junctions

• 2500VAC isolation for “L,” “J,” “P,” and “K”

• High commutating dv/dt

• High static dv/dt

General Notes

• All measurements are made at 60Hz with a resistive load at an

ambient temperature of +25°C unless specified otherwise.

• Operating temperature range (TJ) is -40°C to +125°C except 0°C to

+125°C for FastPaks.

• Storage temperature range (TS) is -40°C to +125°C except -20°C to

+125°C for FastPaks.

• Lead solder temperature is a maximum of 230°C for 10 seconds

maximum ≥ 1/16" (1.59mm) from case.

• The case temperature (TC) is measured as shown on the dimen-

sional outline drawings. See “Package Dimensions” section of this

catalog.

(2) For either polarity of gate voltage (VGT) with reference to MT1 ter-

minal.

(3) See Definition of Quadrants.

(4) See Figures 4.1 through 4.4 for current rating at specific operating

temperature and Figure 4.16 for free air rating (no heat sink).

(5) See Figures 4.5 and 4.6 for iT and vT

(6) See Figure 4.7 for VGT vs TC.

(7) See Figure 4.8 for IGT vs TC.

(8) See Figure 4.9 for IH vs TC.

(9) See Figures 4.10 and 4.11 for surge rating with specific durations.

(10) See Figure 4.12 for tgt vs IGT.

(11) See package outlines for lead form configurations. When ordering

special lead forming, add type number as suffix to part number.

(12) Initial on-state current = 400 mA(DC) for 16-40A devices and

100mA for 6-12 Amp devices.

(13) See Figures 4.1 through 4.4 for maximum allowable case temper-

ature at maximum rated current.

(14) Pulse width ≤ 10µs.

(15) For 6-12 Amp devices, RL = 60Ω; 16 Amp and above, RL = 30Ω

(16) 40 Amp pin terminal leads on K package can run 100°C to 125°C.

(17) Alternistor does not turn on in Quadrant IV.

(18) Tc = TJ for test conditions in off-state

Gate Characteristics

Teccor triacs may be turned on in the following ways:

• With in-phase signals (using standard AC line) Quadrants I and

III are used.

• By applying unipolar pulses (gate always negative)—with nega-

tive gate pulses Quadrants II and III are used.

In all cases, if maximum surge capability is required, gate pulses

should be a minimum of one magnitude above minimum IGT rat-

ing with a steep rising waveform (≤1µs rise time).

Definition of Quadrants

Electrical Isolation

Teccor’s isolated Alternistor packages will withstand a minimum

high potential test of 2500 VAC (RMS) from leads to mounting

tab, over the operating temperature range of the device. See iso-

lation table below for standard and optional isolation ratings.

* For 4000V isolation, use V suffix in part number.

** UL Recognized File E71639
