NTE5673 thru NTE5677 TRIAC – 15 Amp Description: The NTE5673 through NTE5677 series of meduim power TRIACs are bidirectional triode thyristors which may be switched from off–state to conduction for either polarity od applied voltage with positive or negative gate triggering. These devices are designed for control of AC loads in applications such as lighting, heating, and motor speed control as well as static switching relays.
