Z0107MA 5AL2

Overview

The Z0107MA 5AL2 is a standard gate triac manufactured by STMicroelectronics, designed for general-purpose AC switching applications. It features a TO-92 through-hole package with three pins. The device supports a maximum repetitive peak off-state voltage of 600 V and an RMS on-state current rating of 1 A. Key electrical parameters include a maximum gate trigger voltage of 1.3 V, a maximum holding current of 10 mA, and a non-repetitive peak surge current capability of 8 A at 50/60 Hz. The component operates within a junction temperature range of -40°C to +125°C and complies with RoHS standards.

Feature Summary

• Standard gate sensitivity suitable for basic AC control circuits
• Robust thermal performance with a high operating junction temperature limit
• Compact through-hole packaging for easy integration into legacy designs

Applications

• Lighting dimmer controls
• Motor speed regulation for small appliances
• General purpose AC load switching

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's latest datasheet to ensure correct packaging and tape-and-reel specifications. Confirm that the requested quantity aligns with standard distributor reel sizes or cut-tape availability. Check for any regional compliance certifications required for the destination market before finalizing the purchase order.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 1 A RMS current rating and 600 V blocking voltage are sufficient for the load requirements. Ensure the driving circuit can provide the necessary gate trigger current, as this is a standard gate device rather than a logic-level or sensitive gate variant. Consider the TO-92 package constraints regarding thermal dissipation and board space during the design phase.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Z01 series of triacs from STMicroelectronics, which are widely used in consumer electronics and home appliances. The series offers various current ratings and package options to suit different power handling needs. The Z0107MA variant specifically targets applications requiring moderate current switching capabilities in a cost-effective, through-hole form factor.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements may include other Z01 series triacs with identical pinouts and similar electrical ratings, such as the Z0107NA or Z0107MUF, provided the package type matches the existing PCB footprint. Verify that substitute components meet the same voltage and current specifications to maintain circuit integrity.
