FEATURES

The ACST8-8C belongs to the AC power switch

family built around the ASD technology. This high

performance device is adapted to home appliances

or industrial systems and drives an induction motor

up to 8A.

This ACST 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 IEC61000-4-5 standards.

DESCRIPTION
