BCR8FM-14LB#FA0

Thyristors - TRIACs

The BCR8FM-14LB#FA0 is an 8-amp TRIAC, a type of thyristor. The equivalent SCR is an 83L14 with a T090 gate. It is an integrated circuit, which is designed as a cost-effective bidirectional switch designed to control AC power. It is widely used in electronics designs related to AC switching.

Applications of the BCR8FM-14LB#FA0

The BCR8FM-14LB#FA0 is used in a variety of applications. It can be used to create switch-mode power supplies, solid-state relays, programmable logic controllers, temperature sensors, and AC motor controllers. In addition, it is widely used in consumer electronics and commercial applications such as home appliances and medical equipment. Its small size and low-cost makes it ideal for low-voltage and low-power projects. Its low power consumption makes it a great choice for battery-powered devices. It is also an excellent choice for applications where it is important to reduce the size of a power switch.

Working Principle of the BCR8FM-14LB#FA0

The BCR8FM-14LB#FA0 is a thyristor with three pins, and it has two main terminals: it\'s main gate called the MT1 and it\'s auxiliary gate called the MT2. The Gate Control terminal is connected to the main gate of the thyristor, and it is used to turn the thyristor on or off. When the Gate Control pin is activated, the main gate supplies a special current that allows current to flow between the main terminals of the thyristor. When the Gate Control pin is turned off, the current between the main terminals is stopped, thereby turning off the thyristor.

The BCR8FM-14LB#FA0 has two additional pins that allow it to be used in conjunction with phase control systems. The MT3 and M3G pins can be used to adjust the amount of power delivered to a load. This allows the power to be regulated and controlled. Power regulators and dimmers are two examples of devices that may use the BCR8FM-14LB#FA0.

The BCR8FM-14LB#FA0 is a highly versatile thyristor that can be used in a wide range of applications. Its low cost and low power consumption make it a great choice for designers looking for an economical solution for AC power switching and control.
