Thyristors - TRIACs

A TRIAC (Triode for Alternating Current) is a three-terminal semiconductor device that utilizes the principles of the thyristor for regulating alternating current (AC). It is composed of two Thyristors that are connected together, both of which are configured to switch on at controlled intervals when the applied voltage is high enough, thus allowing AC to flow from the anode side of one thyristor to the cathode side of the other. CQ218I-40M is a type of TRIAC and is used to control AC line-voltage circuits, such as electric motors and lighting systems. It can be used to turn power on and off, control the speed of an AC motor or control the brightness of the lamp.

The working principle of the CQ218I-40M is relatively simple. When the gate terminal is triggered by an electric signal, the main AC line voltage is connected to the load, making the load turn on or off, depending on the waveform of the voltage and the desired operation. When current is present, it flows through the main terminals, and if the gate signal is still present, it remains in this state until the current flow is ended.

The CQ218I-40M is primarily used for controlling and regulating AC power in industrial, commercial, and residential applications. It can be used to control devices like electric motors, pumps, electric heaters, and a variety of other electrical and electronic appliances. Its primary application fields include HVAC, industrial controls, lighting systems, and electric vehicles. In addition, it can be used to control many types of electromotors and machines in automated production lines.

The use of TRIACs provides several advantages over conventional resistive or inductive controlling devices. It provides superior surge protection in comparison to resistive devices, and is able toproduce higher switching speed and better performance due to its low operating temperature. Additionally, its improved functionality compared to other switching solutions results in a more reliable power control. The inherent flexibility of TRIACs makes them very popular for both industrial and commercial applications.

Overall, the CQ218I-40M is an efficient and cost-effective means of controlling and regulating AC power. It offers superior surge protection, higher switching speed and improved performance compared to other controlling solutions. In addition, its flexible design makes it a great choice for a wide range of industries and applications. There is no doubt that the CQ218I-40M is an excellent device for meeting your AC power control and regulatory needs.
