(2) triac - power / speed control assemblies, 120 vac
Qty (2) - VARIABLE Electronic Power Control
Works with loads up to 75 Watts (even up to 100W*)
Control a 75+ Watt @125 VAC Load
Rated conservatively at 75 Watts. *But the triac is good up to 0.8 Amps RMS which works out to be 100 Watts at 125 VAC (even more at higher voltages, up to 400 VAC), a much more practical value. But you'll need to watch the case temperature. A heatsink for the triac will help. I'll leave it up to you to study the datasheet to see if it will fit your needs. These are cheap enough for experimentation.
Power Controller Applications:
TRIAC rated 0.8 Amps, 400 volts. [MAC97A8 600 Volt triacs available for upgrade.]

Hint: Best performance is achieved by wiring a switched pot to come on at maximum power to avoid the customary hysteresis at cut-off.
Caution: The board and pot (pot not included) will be
at AC line potential so be sure to insulate for 120VAC.
