2N6075A PBFREE

Overview

The 2N6075A PBFREE is a sensitive gate triac manufactured by Central Semiconductor Corp. It is a silicon bidirectional thyristor designed for full-wave AC control applications. The device supports blocking voltages ranging from 200 to 600 volts and handles 4.0 amperes RMS current. Key electrical characteristics include sensitive gate triggering compatible with TTL, HTL, CMOS, and operational amplifier logic functions. The component utilizes diffused and glass-passivated junctions to ensure parameter uniformity and stability. It features a thermopad construction for low thermal resistance and high heat dissipation capabilities.

Feature Summary

• Sensitive gate triggering uniquely compatible for direct coupling to integrated circuit logic functions
• Diffused and glass-passivated junctions for greater parameter uniformity and stability
• Small, rugged thermopad construction for low thermal resistance and high heat dissipation

Applications

• Full-wave AC control applications such as light dimmers
• Motor controls and heating controls
• Power supplies requiring full-wave silicon gate controlled solid-state devices

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific voltage rating variant required, as the 2N6075A designation covers a range of blocking voltages from 200V to 600V. Confirm that the sensitive gate specification aligns with the driving circuit's output capability. Ensure the thermal management design accommodates the thermopad construction for adequate heat dissipation in the target application environment.

Selection Notes

Select this component when full-wave AC control is necessary with direct logic interface compatibility. The sensitive gate feature simplifies drive circuitry by allowing coupling to standard logic families. Consider the thermopad package for applications requiring efficient heat transfer. Verify the exact voltage class needed within the 200-600V range before finalizing the part number.
