The K2000G is a 2-pin Standard Bidirectional SIDAC, silicon bilateral voltage triggered switch. Upon application of a voltage exceeding the SIDAC breakover voltage point, the SIDAC switch on through a negative resistance region to a low on-state voltage. Conduction continues until the current is interrupted or drops below the minimum holding current of the device. SIDAC features glass-passivated junctions to ensure a rugged and dependable device capable of withstanding harsh environments.
