Thyristors 12 Amp Alternistor (High Commutation) Triacs Qxx12xHx Series RoHS Description This 12 Amp bidirectional 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 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.

Good design practice should limit the maximum Solderability ANSI/J-STD-002, category 3, Test A continuous current through the main terminals to 75% of Lead Bend MIL-STD-750, M-2036 Cond E 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. ©2019 Littelfuse, Inc Specifications are subject to change without notice. Revised: 10/29/19
