DESCRIPTIONS: The SIDAC is a silicon bilateral voltage triggered switch with greater power handling capabilities than standard DIACs. Upon application of a voltage exceeding the SIDAC breakover voltage point, the SIDAC switches on through a negative resistance region to a low on-state voltage. Conduction will continue until the current is interrupted or drops below the minimum holding current of the device.

Applications:
High Voltage Lamp Ignitors Natural Gas Ignitors Gas Oil Ignitors High Voltage Power Supplies	Xenon Ignitors Overvoltage Protection Pulse Generators Fluorescent Lighting Ignitors
