Central Semiconductor Corp. announces the release of a new series of TRIACs with an extended current range. The industry standard current for TRIACs in a SOT-223 surface mount package is 1.0 Amp. Central Semiconductor now manufactures 2.0 Amp ( CQ223-2M and CQ223-2N ) and 4.0 Amp ( CQ223-4M and CQ223-4N ) devices in the SOT-223 package. The M suffix signifies a peak repetitive off-state voltage of 600 volts, while the N suffix signifies 800 volts. These devices are rated at a gate trigger current (I GT ) of 5.0mA maximum in quadrants I, II, III and 9.0mA maximum in quadrant IV. The SOT-223 package, with a profile of 1.8mm, is ideal for small electronic products requiring the functionality of a TRIAC.

These devices are available Bulk Packed or 1,000 pcs on 7" Tape & Reel. Prices for the CQ223-2M start at $0.24 each for 1,000 pcs on a 7" reel. Prices for the CQ223-4M start at $0.32 each for 1,000 pcs on a 7" reel. For pricing and availability on the CQ223-2N or CQ223-4N, contact Central's Sales Department. Samples of all devices are available upon request.

Central Semiconductor manufactures leading edge discrete semiconductors and is always eager to explore design engineers' requests or special requirements. Specifications for these new devices can be found in the New Products / Latest Updates section of Central's website at www.centralsemi.com/new.

Central Semiconductor Corp. announces the release of a new series of SCRs with an extended current range. The industry standard current for an SCR in a SOT-223 surface mount package is 0.8 Amps. Central Semiconductor now manufactures 2.0 Amp (CS223-2M and CS223-2N) and 4.0 Amp (CS223-4M and CS223-4N) devices in the SOT-223 package. The M suffix signifies a peak repetitive off-state voltage of 600 volts, while the N suffix signifies 800 volts. These devices are rated at a gate trigger current (I GT ) of 200µA maximum. The SOT-223 package offers a low profile of 1.8mm, which is ideal for small electronic products with limited circuit board height.

These devices are available Bulk Packed or 1,000 pcs on 7" Tape & Reel. Prices for the CS223-2M start at $0.24 each for 3,000 pcs on a 7" reel. Prices for the CS223-4M start at $0.32 each for 1,000 pcs on a 7" reel. Samples of  these devices are available upon request. For pricing and availability on the CS223-2N or CS223-4N, contact Central's Sales Department.
