Future Electronics Offers Vishay's Phototriacs for Home Applications

Pointe Claire, September 9, 2014 (Newswire.com) - Future Electronics, a global leading distributor of electronic components, offers Vishay's phototriacs for home applications.

Phototriacs are used as a switch for AC loads and as a pre-driver for larger TRIACs or silicon controlled rectifiers. As a subcategory of optocouplers, they protect sensitive, low voltage control electronics from higher voltage transients or spikes.
