Thyristors - TRIACs

The BCR8FM-20LA#BH0 is part of a unique class of semiconductor devices known as Thyristors - TRIACs, which refers to a combination of two thyristors in an antiparallel configuration. It provides a convenient means of controlling an ac voltage or power by using a low-level or ground command signal as input. By using the Thyristor, current in the main circuit can be easily switched on or off, with a low-level or ground command signal as input. Generally speaking, TRIACs can switch on or off close to the zero-crossing point of the ac sine wave, which means that current and voltage can be controlled more precisely. This makes it possible for the user to monitor and control the current and voltage in both directions.

Application field

BCR8FM-20LA#BH0 Thyristor-TRIACs are suitable for a variety of applications where current control is essential. This type of device is particularly useful for controlling power in low-voltage circuits, such as those used in lighting systems and other home fixtures, as well as in industrial machinery and automation systems. They can also be used as switches to control power in motors and other electrical circuits. The switching capability of TRIACs makes them ideal for applications such as dimming of light bulbs, speed control of motors, temperature control of heating elements, and fan control in cooling systems.

Working principle

The TRIAC is formed by connecting two thyristors in an antiparallel configuration. The two thyristors are connected in such a way that current can flow in both directions between the anode and the cathode, thus allowing for the control of an ac voltage or power. When a low-level signal is applied, the two thyristors will be triggered into conduction, allowing current to flow in both directions across the two thyristors, creating a “bridge” between the anode and the cathode.The TRIAC also allows for the precise control of current and voltage in both directions. When a low-level positive voltage is applied to the control signal, the trigger current is increased, causing the TRIAC to switch on. This allows the current to flow until the zero-crossing point on the sine wave. Similarly, a negative signal will cause the TRIAC to switch off at the zero-crossing point.In summary, the BCR8FM-20LA#BH0 Thyristor-TRIACs offer a convenient means of controlling an ac voltage or power, by using a low-level signal as input. Their precise voltage and current control capabilities make them very useful in a variety of applications, such as lighting control, motor speed control, and temperature control.
