The DB3TG from STMicroelectronics is a Diac that is ideal for triggering devices for Triac or SCR-based motor/light dimmer, 32 V trigger device for oscillator circuit, and start-up triggering (useful in lighting ballasts in CFL, TL, or LED lamps) applications. It has a break-over voltage of 32 V and a break-over current of less than 15 µA. This diac functions as a trigger diode with a fixed voltage reference and can be used on conjunction with triacs to simplify gate control circuits or as a starting element in fluorescent lamp ballasts. It is available in a through-hole package that measures 59.05 x 1.53 mm.
