NTE5699
TRIAC 800V
RM
, 25A
TO220 Full Pack
Description:
The NTE5699 TRIAC is designed primarily for fullwave AC control applications, such as lighting sys-
tems, heater controls, motor controls, and power supplies; or wherever full wave silicon gate con-
trolled solid state devices are needed. TRIAC type thyristors switch from a blocking to a conducting
state for either polarity of applied voltage with positive or negative gate triggering.
Features:

Note 1. Ratings apply for open gate conditions. Thyristor devices shall not be tested with a
constant current source for blocking capability such that the voltage applied exceeds the
rated blocking voltage.
Note 2. The case temperature reference point for all T
C
measurements is a point on the center
lead of the package as close as possible to the plastic body.
