General Description
Teccor’s QUADRAC is a triac that includes a diac trigger Variations of devices in this data sheet are available for custom
mounted inside the same package. This device, developed by design applications. Please consult the factory for more informa-
Teccor, saves the user the expense and assembly time of buying tion.
a discrete diac and assembling in conjunction with a gated triac.
The QUADRAC is a bidirectional AC switch and is gate controlled
for either polarity of main terminal voltage. Its primary purpose is
for AC switching and phase control applications such as speed
controls, temperature modulation controls, and lighting controls.
Triac current capacities range from 4 to 15 Amperes with voltage
ranges from 200-600 Volts. QUADRACs are available in the TO-
220AB package as shown above.
Features
• Glass-passivated junctions
The Thermotab package is electrically isolated to 2,500 V (RMS)
from the leads to mounting surface. 4,000 V (RMS) available on • Electrically-isolated package
special order. This means that no external isolation is required, • Internal trigger diac
thus eliminating the need for separate insulators and insulator- • High surge capability — up to 200 Amps
mounting steps ... saving dollars over “hot tab” devices.
• High voltage capability — 200 up to 600 Volts
All Teccor triac and diac chips have glass-passivated junctions to
ensure long term device reliability and parameter stability.
