MAC16HCMG

Triacs Overview

The Littelfuse MAC16HCMG is a silicon gate triac rated for 600V peak repetitive off-state voltage and 16A RMS on-state current. It operates within a junction temperature range of -40°C to +125°C and features a TO-220AB package. Key electrical parameters include a maximum on-state voltage of 1.6V, a holding current maximum of 50mA, and a non-repetitive surge current capability of 150A. The device offers uniform gate trigger currents across quadrants Q1, Q2, and Q3, with a maximum gate trigger voltage of 1.5V.

Triacs Feature Summary

• High commutating di/dt and high immunity to dv/dt at 125°C
• Uniform gate trigger currents in three quadrants (Q1, Q2, and Q3)
• Glass passivated junctions for reliability and uniformity

Triacs Applications

• Full wave AC control applications
• Motor controls
• Heating controls
• Dimmers

Triacs Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's datasheet to confirm the exact blocking voltage rating. Ensure that the selected component meets the required thermal management specifications for the intended application environment. Confirm compliance with RoHS standards if environmental regulations apply to the final assembly.

Triacs Selection Notes

Select the MAC16HCMG variant specifically when a 600V blocking voltage is required, distinguishing it from the 400V and 800V options within the same series. Consider the thermal resistance characteristics and derating curves to ensure adequate heat dissipation under continuous load conditions. Verify that the gate trigger requirements align with the driving circuit capabilities.

Triacs Part Context

The MAC16HCMG belongs to the MAC16HC family of thyristors manufactured by Littelfuse. This series includes variants with different voltage ratings, specifically the MAC16HCDG (400V), MAC16HCMG (600V), and MAC16HCNG (800V). All variants share similar physical packaging and general performance characteristics while differing in their maximum blocking voltage capabilities.

Triacs Replacement Considerations

Direct replacement parts are not explicitly listed in the provided documentation. Evaluate other 600V, 16A TRIACs in the TO-220 package from Littelfuse or other manufacturers, ensuring compatibility with gate trigger parameters and thermal requirements.
