Thyristors - TRIACs

The BTB12-600TW3G is a type of Thyristor, known as a TRIAC. This device is a three terminal semiconductor switch which consists of two thyristors connected in anti-parallel. TRIACs are mainly used as AC Switches, taking advantage of their ability to allow current to flow in both directions. They are preferred over relays, since they can switch currents of up to several hundred amps without the need for an additional current sensing device.

Application Field

The BTB12-600TW3G is a versatile component, and can be applied in various fields due to its ability to switch high currents over extended periods of time without much heat dissipation. Some typical applications include motor control, lighting dimmers, and temperature controllers. Due to its low on-state resistance, it is also suitable for applications where low noise or ultra-smooth power delivery is desired, such as in audiophile and digital signal processing equipment.

Working Principle

The BTB12-600TW3G is typically used as a bidirectional AC switch, allowing current to flow through the circuit from line to load. When the Gate is triggered, it makes the TRIAC conduct electricity, allowing the current to flow through the device and on to the load and back to the line. When the Gate trigger is removed, current will no longer flow and the TRIAC will be turned off, pulled back to its cut off state. This process of switching the TRIAC is usually performed using a voltage-controlled oscillator, as the TRIAC has a low firing threshold.

Conclusion

The BTB12-600TW3G is a versatile and reliable component which can be leveraged for applications that require high current switching capabilities. With its ability to switch currents of up to several hundred amps, it is a favored device for many applications due to its low on-state resistance and low firing threshold.
