MAC97A6,116

Triacs Overview

The MAC97A6,116 is a four-quadrant sensitive gate TRIAC manufactured by WeEn Semiconductors. It features a maximum RMS on-state current of 600 mA and a non-repetitive peak on-state current of 8.8 A. The device supports a rated repetitive peak off-state voltage of 400 V with a maximum off-state leakage current of 3 uA at VDRM. Key electrical parameters include an on-state voltage of 1.4 V, a holding current maximum of 10 mA, a gate trigger voltage of 900 mV, and a gate trigger current of 4 mA. Designed for through-hole mounting in a TO-92-3 package, it operates at temperatures up to +125 C.

Triacs Feature Summary

• Sensitive gate technology enables reliable triggering across all four quadrants.
• Compact TO-92-3 through-hole package facilitates easy integration into circuit boards.
• High thermal stability supports operation at elevated temperatures up to 125 C.

Triacs Applications

• Light dimmer circuits
• Motor speed control systems
• Solid state relays

Triacs Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to ensure the correct packaging configuration, as variants such as MAC97A6,412 exist with different reel specifications. Confirm RoHS and REACH compliance status directly from the manufacturer's official documentation before finalizing procurement plans. Cross-reference the part number against the latest datasheet revisions to ensure technical alignment with design requirements.

Triacs Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-current TRIAC with sensitive gate characteristics is required for AC switching applications. Ensure the load current does not exceed the 600 mA RMS rating and that the voltage stress remains within the 400 V limit. Consider the TO-92-3 package constraints for thermal management and PCB layout space during the design phase.

Triacs Part Context

This device belongs to the TRIAC category under the Thyristors sub-classification. It is produced by WeEn Semiconductors and utilizes logic-sensitive gate technology. The component is distinct from general-purpose TRIACs due to its specific gate sensitivity, allowing for lower drive power requirements while maintaining robust switching performance in standard AC control environments.

Triacs Replacement Considerations

The MAC97A6RL1 from onsemi is a confirmed substitute offering identical 400 V/0.6 A ratings and TO-92-3 packaging. Verify pinout compatibility and gate trigger specifications between manufacturers before swapping components in existing designs.
