I have the fastpak style of this device in the front end of an HD battery charger. Appears 120VAC comes into it and is further fed to a PCB. I am showing a short between G and MT1 but nothing to any other connections. I am honestly not real up on understanding triacs and probably need to understand what this is doing in the circuit. I am hoping if it is shorted it did not damage the PCB with it.
I appears the output to the gate from a microcontroller has a series resistor that is good, then goes through an optocoupler before going to the gate. Is it a fair bet that the optocoupler is damaged as well?
