DIACs, SIDACs Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official Littelfuse documentation to confirm exact electrical tolerances and packaging configurations. Ensure compatibility with standard SMB footprint dimensions during PCB layout. Confirm RoHS compliance status through the manufacturer's latest release notes before finalizing procurement orders.

DIACs, SIDACs Selection Notes

Select this component when designing circuits requiring reliable triggering for gas discharge tubes at approximately 180 volts. Verify that the 20 A peak current rating meets the expected surge requirements of the protected load. Ensure the operating environment remains within the specified -40°C to +125°C thermal limits for long-term reliability.

DIACs, SIDACs Part Context

This part belongs to the Littelfuse SIDAC family of high-voltage trigger devices. These components are distinct from standard thyristors by their bidirectional nature and specific breakover characteristics. They are primarily utilized as gate triggers for larger protective elements rather than as primary power switching devices in low-voltage applications.

DIACs, SIDACs Replacement Considerations

Consult Littelfuse official substitution guides for verified equivalents. Generic replacements may differ in breakover voltage tolerance or peak current handling capabilities.
