2N6071A/B Series
Preferred Device
Sensitive Gate Triacs
Silicon Bidirectional Thyristors
Designed primarily for full-wave ac control applications, such as
light dimmers, motor controls, heating controls and power supplies; or
wherever full-wave silicon gate controlled solid-state devices are
needed. Triac type thyristors switch from a blocking to a conducting
state for either polarity of applied anode voltage with positive or
negative gate triggering.
Sensitive Gate Triggering Uniquely Compatible for Direct Coupling
to TTL, HTL, CMOS and Operational Amplifier Integrated Circuit
Logic Functions
Gate T riggering 4 Mode — 2N6071A,B, 2N6073A,B, 2N6075A,B
Blocking Voltages to 600 Volts
All Diffused and Glass Passivated Junctions for Greater Parameter
Uniformity and Stability
Small, Rugged, Thermopad Construction for Low Thermal
Resistance, High Heat Dissipation and Durability

(1) VDRM and VRRM for all types can be applied on a continuous basis. Blocking
voltages shall not be tested with a constant current source such that the
voltage ratings of the devices are exceeded.
(2) Torque rating applies with use of a compression washer. Mounting torque in
excess of 6 in. lb. does not appreciably lower case-to-sink thermal
resistance. Main terminal 2 and heatsink contact pad are common.
