MAC97A6

Triacs Overview

The MAC97A6 is a bidirectional triac manufactured by onsemi, designed for AC switching and control applications. It features an 8 A non-repetitive peak on-state current and a rated repetitive off-state voltage (VDRM) of 400 V. The device exhibits a maximum holding current (Ih) of 10 mA, with gate trigger voltage (Vgt) at 2.5 V and gate trigger current (Igt) at 7 mA. Operating within a temperature range of -40°C to +110°C, it utilizes a TO-92-3 through-hole package. The component has a typical on-state voltage of 1.9 V and a leakage current of 10 uA under VDRM conditions.

Triacs Feature Summary

• Bidirectional conduction capability for AC load control
• Four-quadrant triggering sensitivity
• Glass passivation for environmental protection

Triacs Applications

• Lighting dimmers
• Motor speed controls
• Heating controllers

Triacs Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturing origin and RoHS compliance status directly with authorized distributors or the manufacturer, as production status may vary. Confirm that the TO-92-3 package matches the required PCB footprint and thermal management needs for the target application before finalizing procurement.

Triacs Selection Notes

Select this component for low-power AC switching tasks requiring a compact through-hole solution. Ensure the circuit design accounts for the 400 V voltage rating and the 10 mA holding current requirement. Verify that the gate drive circuitry can supply the necessary 7 mA trigger current across the specified operating temperature range.

Triacs Part Context

This part belongs to the MAC97A series of triacs from onsemi. It shares specifications with variants such as the MAC97A4G but differs in voltage ratings. The component is widely used in consumer electronics and industrial control systems where small form factor and reliable AC switching are required.

Triacs Replacement Considerations

The MAC97A4G is listed as an alias for this part number. Verify pinout compatibility and exact voltage ratings when substituting with other generic triacs from different manufacturers.
