MAC97A6 Triac: Circuit, Pinout, and Datasheet [Video&FAQ]

MAC97A6 is a silicon bidirectional thyristor with sensitive gate triacs.

It's made for solid-state relays, MPU interfaces, TTL logic, and other light-industrial and consumer applications. Presented in a TO92 is a low-cost package that is easily adjustable for usage in a variety of applications. Equipment for automated insertion.

The following figure is MAC97A6 Pinout.

3D Model

• Blocking Voltage to 600 Volts in a One-Piece Injection Molded Package

• Sensitive Gate Triggering in Four Trigger Modes (Quadrants) for All Possible Trigger Source Combinations, and Notably for Source Gate Drive Circuits

• All Diffused and Glassivated Junctions for Maximum Uniformity of Parameters and Reliability

The SAVER V3.  2 schematic is shown in the image below. The Xc of a 0.22uF capacitor is used in a transformerless power supply to limit current and provide a 10mA current source. The diodes convert ac current to dc current, which is then sent into a 100uF filtering capacitor. The PIC12C508 receives dc power from a 5.1V Zener diode. Low-power 32kHz X-tal is used in the microcontroller circuit. A momentary button is connected to GP2 to set the time to 8:00. For regular operation, GP1 drives a small dot LED that blinks every 5 seconds. GP0 drives a tiny triac MAC97A6  directly with the source current.

Caution! Extremely high voltage! Do not touch any of the circuit's conductive components.

Another way to test a triac is to use this method. This circuit can be used to test almost any type of triac. This circuit is only a modest configuration to show how a triac works at its most basic level. Switch S2 on after connecting the triac to the circuit as shown in the circuit diagram. The lamp should not be lit. S1 (push button switch) is now pressed. The lamp must light up to indicate that the triac has been turned on. You can watch the lamp go out when you release the push button. If the aforementioned tests come back positive, you can presume the triac is in good shape.
