The LIC01-215B-TR from STMicroelectronics is a Triac that has been designed for high-voltage pulse generation circuits such as light ignitors for high-pressure sodium lamps, lamp flashing circuits, and metal halide lamps. It has a break-over voltage of 255 V and a break-over current of 500 µA. This triac has a high holding current structure and high peak current pulse capability. It uses a high-performance planar diffused technology device that enhances its capability to handle high surge current operation in rugged environmental conditions. This triac benefits from space-saving design due to the monolithic function integration. It is available in a surface-mount package that measures 10.10 x 6.60 x 2.40 mm.
