    Default Logic Level Triac

    Hi... I was wondering if anyone has used any of these logic level triacs with a PIC with success and if so any tips you may be able to give are appreciated.
    Regards

    Back.... I just got one of the T410-600T logic level triacs in and my preliminary tests are good. I hooked up the gate to very low current and it switched on a 75watt bulb. It runs very cool the warmest it got so far with my prelimiary test was 94f barely warm to the touch. Of course I unplugged it before I grabbed it but held a digi thermometer to the back of the heat sink. I was going to try a laser thermo probe to make sure I accurate. My next step will be to tie the gate directly to my PIC later this evening. I'll keep everyone posted.

    I'd suggest you use an opt-triac to drive a triac for best protection and ease of use.

    The MOC3041 works very well, just follow the data sheet. Use a zero cross type for best results.

    Agreed... after further consideration I did choose to opto isolate that with an MOC and it's working perfectly.
