Thyristors are a type of semiconductor that has three terminals, known as anode, gate and cathode. They are used to control the potential and current in an electrical circuit, by allowing current to flow between the anode and cathode when the gate is triggered. The BTB16-800CWRG is one type of Thyristor and belongs to the TRIAC family.

A TRIAC stands for Triode for Alternating Current and is a type of AC thyristor. It is made out of two TO-220 packaged SCRs connected in inverse parallel. It is typically used as an AC switch in low voltage AC applications such as motor speed control, dimmers and temperature controllers.

The BTB16-800CWRG is a TRIAC with a maximum repetitive peak off-state voltage of 800V and a peak on-state current of 16A. It is an oversized TRIAC suitable for operation in medium to high power applications such as automation, motor control and welding. It is composed of two planar chips that are encapsulated in a TO-247A package and is gate sensitive to both positive and negative gate voltage signals.

The operating principles for the BTB16-800CWRG TRIAC are relatively simple. It is usually triggered by applying a positive pulse on the gate and then turns on by a positive current from the gate to MT1 terminal. The MT2 terminal then starts to conduct current when the current reaches the latching current of the device and continues to conduct until the current drops to the hold current. It then turns off when either the anode current drops below the holding current, or there is a negative pulse applied to gate.

Due to its high voltage and current ratings, the BTB16-800CWRG TRIAC has a wide range of applications in power electronics and electrical circuits. It is often used in motor control applications such as three-phase motor control, industrial motor drives and AC motor drives. It can also be used in welding applications and switching supplies, as well as lighting control applications and temperature controls.

In summary, the BTB16-800CWRG is a type of TRIAC and is part of the Thyristor family. It has excellent characteristics and high voltage and current ratings making it ideal for high power applications, motor control, and welding. Due to its versatility, the BTB16-800CWRG TRIAC can be used in a variety of applications including lighting control, temperature control, three-phase motor control, and switching supplies.
