Thyristors, also called silicon control rectifiers (SCRs) or simply triacs, are solid-state devices that serve as switching devices or electronically controlled switches. TRIAC (“TRIode for Alternating Current”) is a specialized thyristor that has two power terminals, one of which allows current to flow in either direction when the device is triggered. One of the widely known examples of triacs is the BTA308X-800C0/L03Q.

Application Field of BTA308X-800C0/L03Q

The BTA308X-800C0/LQ03 is an 8 amp bidirectional triac thyristor commonly used in a variety of lighting, HVAC, and other AC-switching applications. It can handle up to 800V maximum repetitive peak off-state voltages, and a 65mA maximum gate trigger current. It is ideal for motor control and AC power switching, DIN-rail mounting, and automated applications.

The BTA308X-800C0/L03Q is particularly suitable for dimmers, motor speed controllers, phase control units, and AC metal-halide lamp ballast, to name a few. It is also commonly used in household appliances, such as portable fans, washing machines, and even industrial process equipment.

Working Principle of BTA308X-800C0/L03Q

The BTA308X-800C0/L03Q is a non-polarized, bidirectional triac thyristor with an AC trigger. This device works by gate control of the conduction of two externally triggered thyristors, which are connected in inverse parallel to control the flow of current. As a bidirectional device, the current can flow in either direction, allowing a larger range of control.

The current-handling capacity of this device is limited to 8A, while the peak off-state voltage handling capacity is limited to 800V (VRRM). It has a looped structure, which helps to reduce leakage and improve electrical isolation. The gate triggering current is limited to 65mA, which is relatively low compared to other devices.

To operate the BTA308X-800C0/L03Q, a voltage must be applied between the gate and main terminals. When the voltage between the gate and main terminals is more than the specified threshold, the device will switch on. If a lower voltage is applied, the device will switch off.

The BTA308X-800C0/L03Q is designed to switch a large range of AC voltages, which makes it a very versatile device. This device is also extremely reliable, and has a long lifetime of up to 100,000 cycles. Additionally, this device can be mounted on a DIN rail and is RoHS compliant.
