MAC15A6G

Triacs Overview

The Littelfuse MAC15A6G is a three-terminal triac designed for AC power control applications. It features an average on-state current rating of 15A and supports non-repetitive surge currents up to 150A. The device offers a repetitive peak off-state voltage (VDRM) of 600V in both forward and reverse directions. Key electrical parameters include a maximum gate trigger current of 35mA, a maximum gate trigger voltage of 1.5V, and a peak on-state voltage of 1.6V. The component operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +125°C and utilizes a TO-220AB through-hole package with three pins.

Triacs Feature Summary

• Robust thermal management capabilities suitable for high-power switching environments
• Sensitive gate structure enabling reliable triggering from low-power control circuits
• High surge current handling capacity for protecting against transient load conditions

Triacs Applications

• Solid-state relays for industrial automation
• Motor speed control systems for fans and pumps
• Lighting dimmer circuits for commercial and residential use

Triacs Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'A6G' to ensure correct voltage blocking ratings and gate sensitivity characteristics. Confirm compliance requirements such as RoHS status prior to integration. Cross-reference datasheet revisions to validate parameter consistency with existing design specifications.

Triacs Selection Notes

Select this component when a 600V blocking voltage and 15A continuous current are required. Ensure the driving circuit can supply at least 35mA gate current for reliable turn-on. Consider the TO-220AB package dimensions for adequate heatsinking given the 1.6V on-state voltage drop at full load.

Triacs Part Context

This part belongs to the MAC15 series of triacs manufactured by Littelfuse. The series provides various voltage ratings and packaging options for general-purpose AC power switching. The MAC15A6G specifically denotes the 600V variant in the standard TO-220AB form factor.

Triacs Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other 15A, 600V triacs in TO-220 packages from different manufacturers, provided gate trigger characteristics match. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal resistance values before substitution.
