BTA206X-800CT/L01,

Thyristors - TRIACs

TRIACs are four-layered silicon devices which are triggered by utilizing a gate signal. BTA206X-800CT/L01 is a type of TRIAC which is widely used in AC switching and phase control applications. It is especially suitable for regulating resistive, capacitive, and inductive loads, making them an ideal choice for dimmers, lighting controls, temperature controls, motor speed controls, motor starters, and welding machines.

Application Field

The BTA206X-800CT/L01 is a Zero-Cross Opto Triac that has a maximum peak on-state current of 800A and a maximum repetitive peak off-state voltage of 800V. It is used to control current through AC electronic equipment such as dimmers, lighting controls, temperature controls, motor starters, motor speed controls, welding machines. It also is suitable for general AC power control in appliances, industrial installations, and other applications where AC power requires precise control.

Working Principle

The BTA206X-800CT/L01 works by allowing an external gate voltage to control the firing and holding of an AC current through the output. This control is performed by altering the characteristics of the TRIAC’s main thyristor layer which controls the switching of the AC. When the external gate voltage is applied, the TRIAC will begin to conduct current until the external gate voltage is removed. When the external gate voltage is removed, the TRIAC will stop conducting current. This makes them ideal for controlling AC current in motors and other electronic equipment.

Conclusion

The BTA206X-800CT/L01 is a type of TRIAC which is widely used in AC switching and phase control applications. It can be used to control current through AC electronic equipment such as dimmers, lighting controls, temperature controls, motor starters, motor speed controls, and welding machines. This makes it an ideal choice for controlling AC current in motors and other electronic equipment, as well as more general AC power control in appliances, industrial installations, and other applications.
