Thyristors - TRIACs

The BCR10CM-16LH#BH0 is a type of bipolar-controlled thyristor or ‘TRIAC’. A TRIAC is a semiconductor device which consists of two thyristor, connected and controlled by a third electrode. The nomenclature for the device is based on the number of thyristors used in the design, and in this case refers to the 3-layer “BiCMOS” construction.

Application Field and Working Principle

The BCR10CM-16LH#BH0 is used in several industries and applications, including usage as a power switching device in motor drives, at AC voltage supply use in consumer and industrial appliances, motor controls, AC motor drives and AC-DC power converters. It is also a useful component for DC motors control, line regulation systems and AC rectification.

The TRIAC ,as compared with traditional thyristors, works as an AC switch with a single gate electrode controlling both main current terminals, while conventional thyristors generally require two electrodes or gates to switching correctly. This distinguishes it from previous devices, as it gives a great deal of flexibility with regard to the precise timing of its operation on a single cycle of the AC waveform.

The BCR10CM-16LH#BH0 works by having only voltage applied to it\'s control terminal (G), which turns on the thyristor. This turns on the thyristor, and the gate is used to control the current through the thyristor by rapid switching on and off current in the main current arm. The BCR10CM-16LH#BH0 is designed to be able to handle high and low voltages, meaning it is an efficient and reliable switching device in a variety of applications.

Safety Features

The BCR10CM-16LH#BH0 features several safety measures which are designed to help prevent accidents and mitigate the effects of any damages caused. For instance, it works in a “zero-voltage-turn-on” mode, so that it must be switched off before a voltage can be applied to it. Therefore, it is well-suited to motor control applications where an unexpected current surge can cause an accident due to the highly volatile nature of electricity. Additionally, the device is also designed to protect against overheating, as it is temperature limited to a maximum of 115°C.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the BCR10CM-16LH#BH0 is a type of TRIAC that is highly reliable and efficient as a switching device for both low and high voltage applications. Its safety features are designed to help prevent any accidents that may occur due to contact with electricity. As a result, the BCR10CM-16LH#BH0 is a suitable and reliable component for a variety of motor control applications in the consumer and industrial market.
