TIC216D-S

Overview

The TIC216D-S is a silicon triac from the TIC216 series, featuring a glass-passivated wafer and a TO-220 package. It supports a repetitive peak off-state voltage (VDRM) of 400 V and conducts a full-cycle RMS on-state current (IT(RMS)) of 6 A at or below 70°C case temperature. The device has a peak on-state surge current (ITSM) rating of 60 A for one 50-Hz full-sine-wave. It operates with a maximum gate trigger current (IGT) of 5 mA in quadrants 1 through 3. The operating case temperature range extends from -40°C to +110°C.

Feature Summary

• Sensitive gate design enabling reliable triggering with low gate current requirements across multiple quadrants.
• Glass passivation provides enhanced protection against environmental stressors and improves long-term reliability.
• Robust thermal management capabilities with defined junction-to-case and junction-to-free air thermal resistance values.

Applications

• General purpose AC power control circuits
• Solid state relays
• Lighting dimmer applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'S' against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm package variant details. Ensure the selected component meets RoHS compliance requirements if applicable to your manufacturing process. Confirm that the 400 V rating aligns with your circuit's peak voltage demands. Check for any obsolete status notifications regarding this specific part number before finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select the TIC216D-S when a 400 V blocking voltage is sufficient for the application, offering cost advantages over higher voltage variants like the TIC216M or TIC216N. Consider the 6 A RMS current rating for moderate power loads. Evaluate the TO-220 package suitability for your thermal dissipation needs and mounting constraints compared to smaller surface mount alternatives.

Part Context

The TIC216D-S belongs to the broader TIC216 series of sensitive gate silicon triacs manufactured by Bourns Inc. This series includes variants with different off-state voltage ratings, specifically 600 V (TIC216M), 700 V (TIC216S), and 800 V (TIC216N). All share the same 6 A RMS current handling capability and general physical characteristics.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the 400 V VDRM, 6 A IT(RMS), and TO-220 package. Verify gate sensitivity and dv/dt ratings. Cross-reference with other manufacturers' 400 V sensitive gate triacs in TO-220 packages, ensuring pinout compatibility (MT1, MT2, Gate).
