Thyristors - TRIACs

A TRIAC comprises two thyristors combined together in inverse parallel connection and making use of both the positive and negative half cycles of input AC waveforms for triggering. The TRIAC is a three-terminal device with main terminals designated as main terminal 1 (MT1) and main terminal 2 (MT2). The third terminal is called a gate terminal. A TRIAC is sometimes referred to as a bidirectional switch since it can switch on with either polarity of the applied voltage. A typical example of a TRIAC is the BTA204-600C,127.

Application Fields

The BTA204-600C,127 TRIAC is mainly used for switching low voltage AC power sources, such as AC motors and power supplies, as well as for half-wave and phase angle control applications. Additionally, it is extensively employed in overcurrent protection, temperature control, and static switching circuits. Due to its excellent performance, robustness and versatility the BTA204-600C,127 is widely used in numerous industries including automotive, aerospace, homeland security, medical, and lighting.

Working Principle

When a TRIAC is switched on, the two thyristors combine and become one semiconductor device having two main terminals MT1 and MT2 and a single gate terminal. This gate terminal can be used to control the conduction of the entire TRIAC. To trigger the TRIAC, a small amount of current is passed through the gate terminal provided it has sufficient voltage applied across it. This voltage should be of sufficient magnitude to ensure that both main terminals are in forward blocking mode, also called cut-off mode. A positive current to the gate terminal will cause the TRIAC to turn on and this conduction is unidirectional from MT1 to MT2. Similarly, a negative current will cause a unidirectional conduction from MT2 to MT1. In order to turn the TRIAC off, a negative current is passed through the gate terminal cutting off conduction. This is the basic principle on which the BTA204-600C,127 TRIAC works.
