SIDAC

The document describes bidirectional thyristor diodes (SIDACs) labeled NTE6415 through NTE6419. These SIDAC devices are silicon switches that can handle greater power than standard DIACs. They switch on when the voltage exceeds the breakover voltage and enter a conducting state until the current drops below the minimum holding current. Key features include effectiveness in AC circuits and applicability for various pulse generators. Common applications include high voltage lamp and gas ignitors, overvoltage protection, and pulse generators. Electrical ratings and characteristics like breakover voltage, peak off current, and switching resistance are provided.

NTE6415 thru NTE6419

Bidirectional Thyristor Diodes (SIDAC)

Description:
The NTE6415 through NTE6419 SIDAC devices are silicon bilateral voltage triggered switches with
greater power handling capabilities than standard DIACs. Upon application of a voltage exceeding
the SIDAC breakover voltage point, the SIDAC switches on through a negative resistance region to
a low on–state voltage. Conduction will continue until the current is interrupted or drops below the
minimum holding current of the device.
