NTE5679
TRIAC – 600V, 40A
Description
The NTE5679 TRIAC may be gate triggered from a blocking to conduction state for either polarity of
applied voltage and is designed for AC switching and phase control applications such as speed and
temperature modulation controls, lighting controls, and static switching relays. The triggering signal
is normally applied between the gate and MT1.
Electrical Characteristics: (All measurements are at TA = +25°C, 60Hz with a resistive load unless
