ACST6:Overvoltage protected AC switch

The ACST6 series belongs to the ACS™/ACST power switch family built with A.S.D.®(application specific discrete) technology. This high performance device is suited to home appliances or industrial systems, and drives loads up to 6 A.

This ACST6 switch embeds a Triac structure and a high voltage clamping device able to absorb the inductive turn-off energy and withstand line transients such as those described in the IEC 61000-4-5 standards. The ACST610 needs only low gate current to be activated (IGT< 10 mA) and still shows a high noise immunity complying with IEC standards such as IEC 61000-4-4 (fast transient burst test).

Key Features

  • Triac with overvoltage protection
  • Low IGT (< 10 mA)
  • TO-220FPAB insulated package: 1500 V rms
  • Benefits
    • Enables equipment to meet IEC 61000-4-5
    • High off-state reliability with planar technology
    • Needs no external overvoltage protection
    • Reduces the power passive component count
    • High immunity against fast transients described in IEC 61000-4-4 standards
