Description
AI
The ACST2 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 2 A.
This ACST2 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 component needs a low gate current to be activated (IGT< 10 mA) and still shows a high electrical noise immunity complying with IEC standards such as IEC 61000-4-4 (fast transient burst test).
