30 / 35 Amp Alternistor (High Commutation) Triacs
Qxx30xHx & Qxx35xHx Series
Description
The 30 Amp / 35 Amp bi-directional solid state switch series
is designed for AC switching and phase control applications
such as motor speed and temperature modulation controls,
lighting controls, and static switching relays.
Standard type components normally operate in Quadrants I
& III triggered from AC line.
Standard alternistor triac components operate with in-phase
signals in Quadrants I or III and ONLY unipolar negative gate
pulses for Quadrant II or III. The alternistor triac will not
operate in Quadrant IV. These are used in circuit applications
requiring a high dv/dt capability.
Features & Benefits
• RoHS Compliant
• Glass – passivated
junctions
• Voltage capability up
to 800V
• Surge capability up to
350A at 60 Hz half cycle
• L-Package isolation rating
of 2500V rms
Applications
Excellent for AC switching and phase control applications
such as heating, lighting, and motor speed controls.
Typical applications are AC solid-state switches, industrial
power tools, exercise equipment, white goods and
commercial appliances.
Alternistor Triacs (no snubber required) are used in
applications with extremely inductive loads requiring
highest commutation performance.
Internally constructed isolated packages are offered for
ease of heat sinking with highest isolation voltage.

Design Considerations
Careful selection of the correct component for the
application’s operating parameters and environment will
go a long way toward extending the operating life of the
Thyristor. Good design practice should limit the maximum
continuous current through the main terminals to 75% of
the component rating. Other ways to ensure long life for
a power discrete semiconductor are proper heat sinking
and selection of voltage ratings for worst case conditions.
Overheating, overvoltage (including dv/dt), and surge
currents are the main killers of semiconductors. Correct
mounting, soldering, and forming of the leads also help
protect against component damage.
