Default Alternistor = trade name for traic?


googling
alternistor "600 volt" site:co.uk
throws up no UK suppliers for 600V alternistors
luckily no one ever uses a snubber in this use, usually just a triac, so
replaced with an ordinary 600V triac and turns on and off ok, presumably
maker had a stock of alternistors , so used them instead of a triac there





Depends whether you count Digikey as a UK supplier (they have UK pricing
and supply to the UK) - they list them anyway.
