TIC206S-S

Overview

The TIC206S-S is a logic-level TRIAC manufactured by Bourns Inc., designed for applications requiring direct interface with digital logic circuits. This component features a four-quadrant triggering capability, ensuring reliable operation regardless of the gate signal polarity or main terminal voltage polarity. It is housed in a TO-92 package, providing a compact solution for power control tasks. The device is rated for a maximum repetitive peak off-state voltage of 400V and an RMS on-state current of 1.5A. These specifications make it suitable for low-power AC switching applications where space constraints and logic compatibility are critical design factors.

Feature Summary

• Four-quadrant logic level triggering for simplified drive circuitry
• Compact TO-92 through-hole packaging for space-efficient designs
• Direct interface capability with standard digital logic families

Applications

• Low-power AC motor speed control
• Solid-state relay inputs
• Lighting dimmer circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'S' against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm package type and marking variations. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives if required by the end application. Cross-reference the part number with authorized distributors to confirm availability and authenticity, as manufacturing sources may vary.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a small form factor is required for AC switching applications with currents up to 1.5A RMS. The 400V voltage rating limits its use to lower voltage AC systems. Consider thermal management requirements for the TO-92 package under continuous load conditions. Verify that the logic family driving the gate matches the trigger current specifications provided in the official electrical characteristics table.

Part Context

The TIC206 series represents a line of logic-level TRIACs intended for replacing mechanical relays in low-power applications. The TIC206S-S variant specifically denotes the TO-92 package configuration within this series. This family allows designers to reduce board space and cost while maintaining reliable AC control functionality in consumer and industrial electronics.

Replacement Considerations

Potential substitutes include other 400V, 1.5A logic-level TRIACs in TO-92 packages from manufacturers such as Texas Instruments or New Jersey Semiconductor. Verify pinout compatibility and trigger current specifications before substitution.
