Thyristors – TRIACs

BCR4AS-16LHT13#B00 is a type of Thyristors – TRIACs which are ideal for electric and lighting applications. A TRIAC, also known as a "triode for alternating current", is a type of bidirectional, three-terminal semiconductor device. It is widely used to control electrical power in AC circuits, where it can perform switching and/orphase control. The BCR4AS-16LHT13#B00 consists of two PN junctions connected in parallel between two main terminals and a gate terminal.

Application Field of BCR4AS-16LHT13#B00

TRIACs such as the BCR4AS-16LHT13#B00 are mainly used in lighting control, AC voltage and current control, temperature control and energy saving for industrial, commercial and residential building automation systems. BCR4AS-16LHT13#B00 is also widely used in motor, heater, small appliance and louver control.

Working Principle of BCR4AS-16LHT13#B00

BCR4AS-16LHT13#B00 is a bidirectional three-terminal semiconductor switching device. It is mainly composed of two PN junctions connected in parallel and they operate independently under different triggering conditions. The gate terminal controls the output of the BCR4AS-16LHT13#B00 by allowing the current to flow during a certain angle of the AC waveform.

The BCR4AS-16LHT13#B00 is essentially a pair of SCRs (a type of thyristor) connected in inverse parallel and driven by a single gate terminal. When the gate of the BCR4AS-16LHT13#B00 is activated, the two SCRs are triggered to conduct and remain in a conducting state as long as current passes through them.

When the current passes through the BCR4AS-16LHT13#B00, virtually the same amount of current is present on both sides of the device, allowing it to maintain a balanced voltage and current, thus making it ideal for AC applications.

Thus, BCR4AS-16LHT13#B00 is an excellent choice for controlling AC voltage and current in electric and lighting applications. It is durable, reliable and efficient and is widely used in industrial settings and consumer applications alike.
