NTE5629 TRIAC – 400VRM, 4Amp Description: The NTE5629 TRIAC is a bi–directional triode thyristor in a TO202 type case. This device may be switched from off–state to conduction for either polarity of applied voltage with positive or negative gate–trigger current. The NTE5629 can be driven directly with IC and MOS devices and is designed for control applications in lighting, heating, cooling, and static switching relays.
