ERR Cruise Commander Smoke Triacs

Are the Triacs in older  ERR cruise and DC commanders  large enough to handle a smoke unit??

Thanks for any advice.

They are essentially the same. The live on the RxLCs which is common to all the modular TMCC equipment.

It's the same part that is used on all R2LC boards.  Over the years, the original smoke triac got upgraded to a pin compatible unit with a higher stated max current due to obsolescence of the original.  However, in truth with no heat sink on the triac, the power handling capability really didn't change.

Thanks @Norton and @gunrunnerjohn for taking the time to answer my questions.
