Thyristors are a type of semiconductor component that controls the flow of electricity in a circuit. The term TRIAC stands for Triode for Alternating Current and is a three-terminal semiconductor component designed to control the flow of AC electricity. The BCR20CM-16LB#BH0 is a TRIAC component commonly used in circuits across a wide range of applications. This article will provide an overview of the application field and working principle of the BCR20CM-16LB#BH0.

Application Field of BCR20CM-16LB#BH0

The BCR20CM-16LB#BH0 is primarily used for static AC switching in circuits. This component is designed to effectively control the flow of current from a power source to a device, such as a motor or any other AC device. Due to its size and typicall low costs, the BCR20CM-16LB#BH0 is popularly used in applications such as lighting control, motor control, and circuit protection.

The BCR20CM-16LB#BH0 is also able to operate at temperatures up to 125 degrees Celsius, making it suitable for a variety of applications in industrial settings. It is often used to control rectifiers or protect relay coils or other electrical devices from over-current or short-circuiting.

Working Principle of BCR20CM-16LB#BH0

The BCR20CM-16LB#BH0 is a three-terminal TRIAC component, which means it is constructed with three primary terminals or pins. These include the anode (A), the gate (G) and the cathode (K). The anode and cathode are connected two opposite electrodes and the gate is used to open and close an electric circuit.

When operating, the BCR20CM-16LB#BH0 must first be turned on through the gate in order to allow current to flow from the anode to the cathode. This will cause a voltage to build up across the anode and the cathode, eventually reaching the breakdown voltage of the device and triggering the TRIAC to turn on. Once the TRIAC is on, current will continue to flow from the anode to the cathode until the voltage drops below the device’s threshold.

The BCR20CM-16LB#BH0 is designed to automatically turn off once the voltage drops below the threshold voltage. This prevents the device from overheating and damaging the circuit. Moreover, the BCR20CM-16LB#BH0 can also be turned off manually by cutting off the voltage or current to the anode and the cathode.

Conclusion

The BCR20CM-16LB#BH0 is a popular TRIAC component commonly used in circuits across a wide range of applications. It is used to control the flow of AC electricity from a power source to a device and is able to operate at maximum temperatures up to 125 degrees Celsius. The BCR20CM-16LB#BH0 is a three-terminal TRIAC that must be turned on in order for current to flow from the anode to the cathode. In addition, the BCR20CM-16LB#BH0 is also designed to turn off once the voltage drops below the device’s threshold voltage.
