MAC97A8/DG,116

Triacs Overview

The MAC97A8/DG,116 is a planar passivated four-quadrant triac manufactured by WeEn Semiconductors. It features a rated repetitive peak off-state voltage (VDRM) of 600 V and an RMS on-state current (IT(RMS)) of 600 mA. The device supports a non-repetitive peak on-state current of 8.8 A with a maximum on-state voltage of 1.4 V. Gate triggering requirements include a maximum gate trigger voltage (VGT) of 900 mV and a maximum gate trigger current (IGT) of 4 mA across all quadrants. The component operates within a junction temperature range up to +125 °C and utilizes a TO-92-3 through-hole package.

Triacs Feature Summary

• Planar passivated structure designed for direct interfacing with microcontrollers and logic integrated circuits.
• Four-quadrant sensitivity enabling reliable gate triggering in all operating modes.
• General-purpose bidirectional switching capability suitable for phase control applications.

Triacs Applications

• Phase control circuits
• Solid state relays
• General bidirectional switching

Triacs Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix DG,116 corresponds to the radial reel packing format when sourcing from distributors. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead-free conversion dates directly with the manufacturer or authorized agents prior to procurement. Ensure the requested quantity aligns with standard factory packaging multiples to avoid partial reel handling issues.

Triacs Selection Notes

Select this component for low-power AC load control where a 600 V blocking voltage and 0.6 A continuous current are sufficient. The high gate sensitivity allows for direct drive from low-power logic without additional amplification. Consider thermal management constraints given the TO-92 package size and ensure the application does not exceed the 8.8 A surge current limit during turn-on transients.

Triacs Part Context

This part belongs to the MAC97A8 family of triacs produced by WeEn Semiconductors. The base device is a general-purpose thyristor often used in consumer electronics and industrial controls. The specific suffix indicates the tape and reel packaging variant, distinguishing it from bulk or straight-lead versions while maintaining identical electrical characteristics.

Triacs Replacement Considerations

The MAC97A8,412 is a verified alternative offering identical electrical specifications but packaged in bulk straight leads rather than a radial reel. Other manufacturers produce functionally equivalent triacs, but pinout compatibility and exact gate trigger parameters must be validated against the original datasheet before substitution.
