Description
The ACST1635-8FP belongs to the AC power
switch range built with A.S.D.
®
technology. This
high performance device is designed for home
appliances or industrial systems and drives loads
up to 16 A.
This ACST1635-8FP switch embeds a Triac
structure with a high voltage crowbar device to
absorb the inductive turn-off energy and withstand
line surges such as those described in the
IEC 61000-4-5 (surge immunity test).
