Device summary Description Symbol Value Unit The ACST12 series belongs to the ACS/ACST I 12 A T(RMS) family built with the ASD (application specific discrete) technology. This high performance V /V 700 V DRM RRM device is adapted to home appliances or industrial I 10 or 35 mA GT systems and drives loads up to 12 A. This ACST12 switch embeds a TRIAC structure and a high voltage clamping device able to absorb the inductive turn-off energy and withstand line transients such as those described in the IEC 61000-4-5 standards. The ACST12-7S needs a low gate current to be activated (I < 10 mA) and GT in the mean time provides a high electrical noise immunity such as those described in the IEC 61000-4-4 standards. The ACST12-7C offers an extremely high static dV/dt immunity of 2 kV/s minimum. December 2008 Rev 1 1/12 www.st.comCharacteristics ACST12 1 Characteristics Table 2.
