Z0103MAG

Overview

The Z0103MAG is a silicon bidirectional thyristor (Triac) from the Sensitive Gate Triacs Series, manufactured by onsemi. It is designed for solid state relays, MPU interfaces, and TTL logic applications. The device features a TO-92 package with a peak repetitive off-state voltage of 600 V and an on-state RMS current of 1.0 A. It supports sensitive gate triggering in all four quadrants, ensuring compatibility with various trigger sources. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum gate trigger current of 5.0 mA, a holding current of 7.0 mA, and a critical rate of rise of off-state voltage of 30 V/µs at 110°C. The device operates within a junction temperature range of -40 to +125°C.

Feature Summary

• Sensitive gate triggering capability across all four quadrants for versatile interface with logic circuits
• Injection-molded one-piece package construction for improved reliability and uniformity
• High noise immunity with a minimum dv/dt rating of 10 V/µs at elevated temperatures
• Glassivated junctions to ensure parameter uniformity and long-term stability

Applications

• Solid state relays
• MPU interface circuits
• TTL logic control systems
• Light industrial automation equipment
• Consumer appliance control modules

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'G' corresponds to bulk packaging in boxes of 5000 units when sourcing. Confirm that the component meets lead-free requirements as indicated by the datasheet designation. Ensure the procurement documentation references the correct publication number Z0103MA/D to guarantee alignment with the latest revision specifications and thermal characteristics.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring direct interfacing with low-power logic gates or microprocessors due to its sensitive gate structure. Evaluate the thermal resistance parameters against the expected ambient conditions to ensure the junction temperature remains within the specified operating range. Consider the 8 A surge current capability for handling transient loads typical in resistive or inductive switching scenarios.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Z0103MA series of sensitive gate triacs offered by onsemi. It shares functional similarities with other variants in the family but is distinguished by its specific packaging and gate sensitivity profile. The series is engineered for cost-effective integration into automatic insertion equipment while maintaining robust performance in consumer and light industrial environments.

Replacement Considerations

Compatible substitutes include the Z0103MARL1G for tape-and-reel configurations and the Z0103MARLRPG for fan-fold box packaging. These alternatives maintain identical electrical characteristics and pinout assignments, facilitating direct replacement without circuit redesign.
