[Ceramate]

General Description
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.

Features
 AC circuit oriented
 Glass-passivated junctions

Applications
 High voltage lamp ignitors
 Natural gas ignitors
 Gas oil ignitors
 High voltage power supplies
 Xenon ignitors
 Over voltage protector
