Thyristors 8 Amp Sensitive, Standard & Alternistor (High Commutation) Triacs Lxx08xx & Qxx08xx & Qxx08xHx Series RoHS Description This 8 Amp bidirectional solid state switch series is designed for AC switching and phase control applications such as motor speed and temperature modulation controls, lighting controls, and static switching relays. Sensitive type components guarantee gate control in Quadrants I & IV as needed for digital control circuitry. Standard type components normally operate in Quadrants I & III triggered from AC line. Alternistor type components only operate in quadrants I, II, & III and are used in circuits requiring high dv/dt capability.
