What the 800 V off-state rating means for your load
The Z0109NA 2AL2 is a logic-level TRIAC from STMicroelectronics' Z0109 series, rated for 800 V off-state voltage and 1 A RMS on-state current. The 800 V blocking capability covers 240 VAC mains with margin for line transients — a common requirement for appliance and industrial controls where the TRIAC switches resistive or inductive loads directly from the microcontroller I/O.
Sensitive gate and drive compatibility
Classified as a logic-level (sensitive gate) TRIAC, the Z0109NA 2AL2 triggers with a maximum gate current of 10 mA and a maximum gate voltage of 1.3 V. The 10 mA maximum hold current (Ih) ensures the TRIAC stays latched once triggered, even with lightly inductive loads that might otherwise drop below the holding threshold near the zero-cross.
Package and board integration
Housed in the TO-92-3 through-hole package (TO-226AA with formed leads), the Z0109NA 2AL2 occupies a compact footprint on the PCB. The through-hole leads suit hand-assembly or wave-solder processes, and the formed-lead variant simplifies insertion into pre-drilled boards or sockets.
