SIDAC
(95 - 330 Volts)

General Description
The Sidac is a silicon bilateral voltage triggered switch 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. Teccor offers the complete voltage range (95-330) over three different packages: TO-92 (95-280 volts) Axial lead DO-15X (95-280 volts) Surface Mount DO-214AA (95-280 volts) TO-202AB (190-330 volts)

Applications
High voltage lamp ignitors Natural gas ignitors Gas oil ignitors High voltage power supplies Xenon ignitors Over voltage protector Pulse generators Fluorescent lighting ignitors HID lighting ignitors

Teccors Sidacs feature glass passivated junctions to ensure a rugged and dependable device capable of withstanding harsh environments. Variations of devices covered in this data sheet are available for custom design applications. Please consult the factory for more information.

Features
AC circuit oriented Glass-passivated junctions High surge current capability

General Notes
All measurements are made at 60Hz with a resistive load at an ambient temperature of +25C unless otherwise specified. Storage temperature range (TS) is -65C to +150C. The case (TC) or lead (TL) temperature is measured as shown on the dimensional outline drawings. See Package Dimensions section of this catalog. Junction temperature range (TJ) is -40C to +125C. Lead solder temperature is a maximum of +230C for 10 seconds maximum; 1/16" (1.59mm) from case.

Electrical Specification Notes

(1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) (7) See Figure 9.6 for VBO change vs junction temperature. See Figure 9.7 for IBO vs junction temperature. See Figure 9.2 for IH vs case temperature. See Figure 9.14 for test circuit. See Figure 9.1 for more than one full cycle rating. RJA for TO-202 Type 23 and Type 41 is 70C/watt. TC 90C for TO-92 Sidac and TC 105C for TO-202 Sidacs. TL 100C for DO-15X and TL 90C for DO-214AA. (8) See Figure 9.15 for clarification of Sidac operation. (9) For best Sidac operation, the load impedance should be near or less than switching resistance. (10) Teccor's new, improved series of sidacs is designed to ensure goodcommutationathigherswitchingfrequencies asrequiredinignitor circuits for high intensity discharge (HID) lighting. A typical circuit for a metal halide lamp ignitor is shown in the schematic, Figure 9.3. With proper component selection this circuit will produce three pulses for ignition of Osram lamp types such as HQI-T70W, HQIT150W, and HQI-T250W which require a minimum of three pulses at 4kV magnitude and >1 s duration each at a minimum repetition rate of 3.3kHz.

NOTE A: Input pulse width is increased until ICM = 0.63A. NOTE B: Sidac (or Diac or series of Diacs) chosen so that VBO is just below VCEO rating of transistor to be protected. The Sidac (or Diac) eliminates a reverse breakdown of the transistor in inductive switching circuits where otherwise the transistor could be destroyed.
