1. Product profile
1.1 General description
Planar p assivated hig h commutation three qua drant tria c in a SOT18 6A "full pack" plastic
package intended for use in circuits where very high blocking voltage, high static and
dynamic dV/dt and high dI/dt can occur. This "series B" triac will commutate the full rated
RMS current at the maximum rated junction temperatu re without the aid of a snubber.
1.2 Features and benefits
3Q technology for improved noise
immunity
High commutation capability with
maximum false trigger immunity
High immunity to false turn-on by dV/dt
Isolated mounting base package
Planar passivated for voltage
ruggedness and reliability
Tr iggering in three quadrants only
Very high voltage capability
1.3 Applications
Compressor starti ng controls
General purpose motor controls
Reversing induction motor controls
e.g. vertical axis washing machines

Suitability for useNXP Semiconductors products are not designed,
authorized or warranted to be suitable for use in life support, life-critical or
safety-critical systems or equipment, nor in applications where failure or
malfunction of an NXP Semiconductors product can reasonably be expected
to result in perso nal injury, death or severe property or environmental
damage. NXP Semiconductors accepts no liab ility for inclusion and/or use of
NXP Semiconductors products in such equipment or applications and
therefore such inclusion and/or use is at the customer’s own risk.
Quick reference data — The Quick reference data is an extract of the
product data given in the Limiting values and Characteristics sections of this
document, and as such is not complete, exhaustive or legally binding.
Applications — Applications that are described herein for any of these
products are for illustrative purposes only. NXP Semiconductors makes no
representation or warranty that such applications will be suitable for the
specified use without further testing or modification.
Customers are responsible for the design and ope ration of their applications
and products using NXP Semiconductors product s, and NXP Semiconductors
accepts no liability for any assistance with applications or customer product
design. It is customer’s sole responsibility to determine whether the NXP
Semiconductors product is suit able and fit for the custome r’s applications and
products planned, as well as fo r the planned application and use of
customer’s third party customer(s). Custo mers should provide appropriate
design and operating safeguards to minimize the risks associated with their
applications and products.
NXP Semiconductors does not accept any liability related to any def ault,
damage, costs or problem which is based on any weakness or default in the
customer’s applications or products, or the application or use by customer’s
third party custo m er(s). Customer is responsible for doing all necessary
testing for the customer’s applications and products using NXP
Semiconductors products in order to avoid a default of the applications and
the products or of the application or use by customer’s third party
customer(s). NXP does not accept any liability in this respect.
Limiting values — Stress above one or more limiting values (as defined in
the Absolute Maximum Ratings System of IEC 60134) will cause permanent
damage to the device. Limiting values are stress ratings only and (proper)
operation of the device at these or any other conditions above those given in
the Recommended operating conditions section (if present) or the
Characteristics sections of this document is not warranted. Constant or
repeated exposure to limiting values will permanently and irreversibly affect
the quality and reliability of the device.
