Can I switch a 220V AC load directly from an Arduino pin with this triac?
Not directly. The gate needs a trigger current from a driver stage, usually an opto-isolated triac driver (for example MOC3041), with a gate resistor and full electrical isolation between the microcontroller and mains.
Can it be used on DC circuits?
No. Triacs are designed for AC and turn off when the current crosses zero. For DC switching use a MOSFET or IGBT instead.
