2N6507TG

Thyristors - SCRs

A Silicon Controlled Rectifier (SCR or thyristor) is a three-terminal electronic semiconductor switch used to control the flow of electrical current. The 2N6507TG is a type of thyristor device. This device is available in various power ratings and configurations, making it suitable for many different applications in industries and commercial applications. In this article we will discuss the application field and working principle of the 2N6507TG.

Operating Principle of the 2N6507TG

The 2N6507TG is a bidirectional semiconductor switch, which means that the device can control the flow of current in both directions. The device consists of a P-type silicon body and two N-type layers. Each of the N-type layers is connected to a gate terminal and the P-type silicon body is connected to the main terminal. The device also contains three additional terminals: a bias terminal, a commutating terminal and a control terminal.

When a positive voltage is applied to the control terminal, it causes an increase in the device\'s conduction capability. This increase in conduction capability is known as "turning on" the device. The turn-on voltage of the 2N6507TG typically ranges from 5 to 10V, depending on the temperature. Once the device is turned on, current can flow through it. The turn-off time of the device is determined by the time it takes for the current to decay to zero.

Application Field of the 2N6507TG

Due to its bidirectional nature, the 2N6507TG is suitable for a variety of applications including motor control, UPS systems, welding systems and any system requiring a fast switch. It is also used in high-power switching applications such as plasma discharge, where the trigger voltage is higher than the turn-on voltage of the device. In summary, the use of the 2N6507TG can be divided into three main areas: Industrial applications, commercial applications, and in high-power switching applications.

Conclusion

The 2N6507TG is a versatile thyristor device that has a wide range of application in various industries and systems. This device can be used in motor control, UPS systems, welding systems, high-power switching and any system requiring a fast switch. The device\'s turn-on voltage typically ranges from 5 to 10V, depending on the temperature. The device can withstand high power switching and the turn-off time is determined by the time it takes for the current to decay to zero.
