ACST4
Overvoltage protected AC switch
Datasheet - production data
Features
• Triac with overvoltage protection
• Low I
GT
(<10 mA) or high immunity
(I
GT
<35 mA) version
• High noise immunity: static dV/dt > 1000 V/µs
• TO-220FPAB insulated package complies with
UL 1557 standard (file ref: E81734)
Benefits
• Enables equipment to meet IEC 61000-4-5
• High off-state reliability with planar technology
• Needs no external overvoltage protection
• Reduces the power passive component count
• High immunity against fast transients
described in IEC 61000-4-4 standards
Applications
• AC mains static switching in appliance and
industrial control systems
• Drive of medium power AC loads such as:
– Universal motor of washing machine drum
– Compressor for fridge or air conditioner
Description
The ACST4 series belongs to the ACS™ / ACST
power switch family. This high performance
device is suited to home appliances or industrial
systems and drives loads up to 4 A.
This ACST4 switch embeds a Triac structure with
a high voltage clamping device to absorb the
inductive turn-off energy and withstand line
transients such as those described in the
IEC 61000-4-5 standards. The ACST410 needs a
low gate current to be activated (I
GT
< 10 mA) and
still shows a high electrical noise immunity
complying with IEC standards such as
IEC 61000-4-4 (fast transient burst test).
Provides UL 1557 certified insulation rated at
2000 V rms.
