RS0408A-CW

Thyristors - TRIACs

TRIAC4A800VTO-220ABAC Switching

The RS0408A-CW is a 4A, 800V 3-quadrant TRIAC in an insulated TO-220AB package, optimized for general-purpose AC switching and inductive load control.

Best for

  • AC motor speed control
  • Light dimming circuits
  • Static relay switching
  • Heating regulation

Avoid if

  • Applications requiring 4-quadrant switching
  • High-frequency switching beyond typical AC line frequencies

Check before use

  • Gate drive current requirements
  • Thermal dissipation needs for the specific load
