MAC97A8RL1G

Triacs Overview

The MAC97A8RL1G is a planar passivated four-quadrant triac manufactured by onsemi, housed in a TO-92-3 (TO-226) through-hole package. It features a rated repetitive off-state voltage of 600 V and an RMS on-state current of 0.6 A. The device supports a non-repetitive peak on-state current of 8 A with a maximum holding current of 10 mA. Gate triggering specifications include a maximum gate trigger voltage of 2.5 V and a maximum gate trigger current of 7 mA across all quadrants. The component operates within a junction temperature range of -40°C to +110°C.

Triacs Feature Summary

• Four-quadrant sensitivity enables reliable triggering from any gate polarity relative to the main terminal 1 potential.
• Planar passivation technology provides robust protection against mechanical stress and environmental contaminants.
• Designed for direct interfacing with microcontrollers and low-power logic circuits without requiring complex drive networks.

Triacs Applications

• Lighting control systems including dimmers and soft starters
• Solid-state relays for AC load switching
• Motor speed control applications for small appliances

Triacs Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix RL1G against the manufacturer's latest datasheet to confirm packaging format and compliance status. Confirm availability as distribution channels may vary due to lifecycle changes. Ensure the ordering part number matches the required RoHS and lead-free specifications for the target assembly process.

Triacs Selection Notes

Select this component when a 600V blocking capability and 0.6A continuous current rating are required in a compact TO-92 package. Verify that the gate trigger current requirements of the driving circuit align with the specified 7 mA maximum. Consider thermal management constraints given the limited surface area of the plastic package for heat dissipation.

Triacs Part Context

This part belongs to the MAC97A series of sensitive gate triacs designed for general-purpose AC switching. The RL1G suffix typically denotes a specific tape-and-reel or bulk packaging configuration within the TO-92 family. It serves as a cost-effective solution for low-power AC control tasks where high integration density is necessary.

Triacs Replacement Considerations

MAC97A8G: Direct equivalent from onsemi with identical electrical characteristics but potentially different packaging or compliance status. MAC97A8: Generic variant from other manufacturers offering similar 600V/0.6A performance in TO-92 packages.
