ACST4
AC power switch
Main applications
■ AC static switching in appliance control
systems
■ Drive of low power high inductive or resistive
loads like
– spray pump in dishwashers
– an in air-conditioners

Description
COM
G
The ACST4 belongs to the AC power switch
family built around the ASD™ technology. This
high performance device is adapted to home
appliances or inductrial systems and drives loads
up to 4 A.
The ACS™ switch embeds a Triac structure with a
high voltage clamping device to absorb the
inductive turn-off energy and withstand line
transients such as those described in the
IEC 61000-4-5 standards.
