Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the MAC97A6RLRF is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters: Triac Type (Logic - Sensitive Gate), Voltage - Off State (400V), Current - On State (600mA), Voltage - Gate Trigger (2V maximum), Current - Gate Trigger (5mA maximum), Current - Hold (10mA maximum), and Through Hole mounting in TO-92-3 packaging.

Substitute parts are categorized into two groups:

Upgrade Substitutes maintain all electrical parameters while offering improved product status (Active vs. Obsolete) and enhanced compliance certifications. These parts are direct functional replacements with identical electrical specifications.

Similar Substitutes maintain core electrical parameters but exhibit variations in specific characteristics such as Voltage - Gate Trigger (1.5V vs. 2V maximum) or Current - Gate Trigger (7mA vs. 5mA maximum). These parts remain functionally compatible within the same application class but require verification of gate drive circuit compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Replacement (Identical Electrical Specifications):

MAC97A8/DG,116 (WeEn Semiconductors) and MAC97A8/DG,412 (NXP USA Inc.) provide complete electrical equivalence to the MAC97A6RLRF. Both parts maintain the 2V maximum gate trigger voltage and 5mA maximum gate trigger current. These parts carry Active product status and offer RoHS compliance, eliminating obsolescence concerns. MAC97A8/DG,412 provides the largest inventory availability (26,056 pcs) in bulk packaging, while MAC97A8/DG,116 is available in tape & reel format (705 pcs).

For Applications with Relaxed Gate Drive Requirements:

MAC97A6,116 (WeEn Semiconductors, Cut Tape) and MAC97A6,412 (WeEn Semiconductors, Bulk) are functionally compatible alternatives with lower gate trigger specifications (1.5V maximum gate trigger voltage, 7mA maximum gate trigger current). These parts are suitable for applications where gate drive circuits can accommodate the reduced trigger thresholds. Both carry Active product status and RoHS compliance. MAC97A6,412 offers higher inventory (1,870 pcs) in bulk packaging.

All substitute parts maintain identical off-state voltage (400V), on-state current (600mA), hold current (10mA), and through-hole TO-92-3 packaging, ensuring mechanical and thermal compatibility with existing PCB designs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MAC97A6,116 or MAC97A6,412 be used as direct replacements for MAC97A6RLRF?

A: These parts are functionally compatible but not electrically identical. The gate trigger voltage is reduced from 2V to 1.5V maximum, and gate trigger current increases from 5mA to 7mA maximum. Substitution is valid only if the gate drive circuit can operate within these modified specifications. Verify gate drive voltage and current capabilities before implementation.

Q: What is the primary advantage of MAC97A8/DG,116 and MAC97A8/DG,412 over the original MAC97A6RLRF?

A: Both parts maintain complete electrical equivalence while offering Active product status (vs. Obsolete), RoHS compliance, and extended operating temperature range (125°C vs. 110°C). These improvements eliminate supply chain obsolescence risk and support modern manufacturing compliance requirements.

Q: Are all substitute parts available in the same packaging format?

A: No. MAC97A8/DG,116 is supplied in Tape & Reel format, MAC97A8/DG,412 and MAC97A6,412 in Bulk, and MAC97A6,116 in Cut Tape. Packaging selection depends on production volume and assembly equipment compatibility. All parts use identical TO-92-3 component packaging.

Q: What is the difference between the WeEn and NXP versions of the MAC97A8/DG?

A: MAC97A8/DG,116 (WeEn) and MAC97A8/DG,412 (NXP) are electrically identical with identical electrical specifications. The primary differences are manufacturer, packaging format (Tape & Reel vs. Bulk), and inventory availability. Selection depends on supply chain preference and packaging requirements.

Q: Is the MAC97A6RLRF RoHS compliant?

A: No. The MAC97A6RLRF is RoHS non-compliant. All active substitute parts (MAC97A8/DG,116, MAC97A8/DG,412, MAC97A6,116, MAC97A6,412) are RoHS compliant, supporting modern manufacturing and environmental regulations.
