ACST1035-8FP

Thyristors - TRIACs

The ACST1035-8FP is a type of silicon bidirectional thyristor, also commonly known as a TRIAC. This device is commonly used to control and switch the current in an AC circuit.The ACST1035-8FP consists of three layers of silicon; a P-type layer, the gate, and an N-type layer. When the gate receives a triggering signal of voltage, it causes a “avalanche breakdown”, which creates a conducting path between the two layers. This in turn switches on the TRIAC and allows the current to pass through.

The ACST1035-8FP is suitable for most aplication fields, due to its low power loss, high surge current capability and wide on-state region. It is commonly used in dimmer circuits, motor control circuits, and domestic appliances.The ACST1035-8FP, due to its larger region of on-state current when compared to other TRIACs, is able to control the current with greater accuracy and precision. This makes it ideal to use in delicate applications and systems.

Alongside its use in current control, the ACST1035-8FP can also be used in the switching of AC voltages and signals. Again, its superior on-state region and low power loss makes it ideal for these types of application. Its relatively low switching frequency of 40KHz provides adequate protection against electromagnetic interference, making it suitable for use in sensitive electronic devices that require this level of protection.

The ACST1035-8FP is also able to withstand a large range of temperatures, with it being able to operate in extreme temperatures of up to 150 degrees Celsius without failure. This means it is suitable to be used in a large number of industrial applications.

In conclusion, the ACST1035-8FP is a reliable and robust device, able to be used in a wide range of applications and fields due to its superior on-state current sensitivity and resistance to high temperatures. Its advanced design paired with low power loss make it an ideal choice for any application requiring precise current control and resistance to interference.
