In the datasheet I linked it's 1.3V (max) in all 3 specified quadrants. When the triac is conducting, a bit of voltage comes out of the gate. This is not well specified, but it will be similar (and of course it will be less than, and the same polarity as, the 'A2' voltage with respect to 'A1') and there will be some internal series resistance (again, not well specified). | |
