MAC210A10G

Triacs Overview

The MAC210A10G is a bidirectional triac manufactured by Littelfuse, designed for general-purpose AC power control applications. It features an 800V repetitive peak off-state voltage rating and supports a continuous on-state current of 10A. The device is housed in a TO-220AB through-hole package with three pins, facilitating robust thermal management and secure mounting. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum gate trigger current of 35mA and a peak on-state voltage of 1.6V. It operates within a temperature range from -40°C to +125°C and withstands a surge current of 150A, ensuring reliability in demanding environments.

Triacs Feature Summary

• Bidirectional switching capability for AC load control
• High surge current handling capacity for transient protection
• Through-hole mounting for mechanical stability

Triacs Applications

• General purpose AC motor speed control
• Solid state relay output stages
• Lighting dimmer circuits

Triacs Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'G' against the official Littelfuse datasheet to confirm compliance with RoHS directives and halogen-free status. Ensure the ordering part number matches the exact voltage and current ratings required for the target circuit design before finalizing procurement.

Triacs Selection Notes

Select this component when an 800V blocking voltage and 10A continuous current are required in a TO-220AB package. Consider the 35mA gate trigger current requirement for driver compatibility. Evaluate thermal dissipation needs based on the 1.6V on-state voltage drop under load conditions.

Triacs Part Context

This triac belongs to the MAC series of power semiconductors from Littelfuse, widely used in industrial and consumer electronics for AC power regulation. The MAC210A10G variant specifically targets applications requiring moderate current handling with high voltage blocking capabilities in a standard through-hole form factor.

Triacs Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other 10A, 800V TRIACs in TO-220AB packages such as the MAC15NG for higher current options or similar Littelfuse variants. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal resistance specifications before substituting.
