BT136S-600,118

Thyristors - TRIACs are semi-conducting switches that are used to control current flow in a circuit. They are generally used to control alternating current (AC) power rather than direct current (DC) power. The BT136S-600,118 can be used in a variety of applications. This article will explore the application field and working principles of the BT136S-600,118.

Application Fields

The BT136S-600,118 is primarily used for controlling AC in household appliances and industrial machines. It can also be used in circuit breakers, motor speed controllers and other AC power control applications. Some typical application fields include home appliances (refrigerators, washing machines, air conditioners, etc.), fans, pumps, lighting fixtures, portable power tools, automobiles and electric motor drives.

The BT136S-600,118 is also used in AC power supplies for medical equipment, security systems and home automation systems. This type of TRIAC is particularly useful in high-current applications, where its high switching speed, low thermal resistance and small footprint make it a valuable component. Furthermore, its ability to operate in extreme temperatures makes it an ideal choice for use in hostile environments.

Working Principle

The BT136S-600,118 is a three-terminal device composed of two P-type and two N-type semiconductor materials. It uses the phenomenon of thyristor firing to control current flow through the device. The basic operating principle of the BT136S-600,118 is as follows:

1. When the gate current is switched on, the positive voltage applied to the gate terminal causes electrons to flow from the gate to the base of the device.
2. The transistor in the device is activated and current can then flow through it.
3. When the voltage across the device exceeds the triggering value, the current flow is interrupted by the device and the device is said to have fired.

The BT136S-600,118 is capable of withstanding short bursts of over-currents, making it ideal for AC power control applications. It can also be used to control AC power in a circuit with very low Off-state leakage current. The device has a very high switching speed and can operate in temperatures up to 150°C. In addition, the BT136S-600,118 has a low thermal resistance, making it very efficient in dissipating heat.

Conclusion

The BT136S-600,118 is a three-terminal device capable of controlling AC power in a variety of applications. Its high switching speed and ability to withstand short bursts of over-currents make it an ideal component for AC power control applications. Additionally, its small size, low thermal resistance and wide operating temperature range make it the perfect choice when high current is required and the environment is hostile.
