Thyristors - TRIACs

A TRIAC is a three-terminal, thyristor device with two AC main terminals and one gate terminal. The TRIAC is a type of thyristor which allows current flow in both directions. It is usually used as an AC switched, controlled rectifier and are most often used to control circuits up to 600VAC. The model number of TRIAC indicates the maximum current rating and breakdown voltage. For example, CTAC06-1200TW is a TRIAC device which can handle up to 1200V of reverse blocking voltage and allows up to 6A of forward current.

Application Field of CTAC06-1200TW

CTAC06-1200TW is mainly used in AC switching applications such as lamp and motor dimming, lighting control, speed control of AC motors, heating regulation, electric welding and power controllers. Other potential applications may include switching of AC line operated devices, AC controlled rectifier circuits and multi-functional gate drive circuits as well.

Working Principle of CTAC06-1200TW

The CTAC06-1200TW is designed to function as an AC switch. It contains two junction gate-controlled thyristors connected in inverse parallel with each other. This device allows current flow in both directions through the main terminals depending on the gate signal level applied. When a gate signal of proper amplitude and polarity is applied to the gate-cathode junction, minority carriers in the semiconductor material of the gate become injected, closing and holding a conducting path between the two main terminals. This gate signal must be of a maximum amplitude and frequency, with a given forward and reverse voltage.

The CTAC06-1200TW is an effective AC switch for controlling high power AC applications such as heating regulation and electric welding. It has an initial on-state current rating of 6A, an initial off-state voltage rating of up to 1200V, and an off-state leakage current of 3mA or less at a blocking voltage of 600V or less. The device is designed to provide reliable and stable operation for AC applications that require frequent switching operation.

Conclusion

The CTAC06-1200TW is an AC switch with an initial on-state current rating of 6A, an initial off-state voltage rating of up to 1200V, and an off-state leakage current of 3mA or less at a blocking voltage of 600V or less. It is designed to function as an AC switch and is mainly used in applications such as lamp and motor dimming, lighting control, speed control of AC motors, heating regulation, electric welding and power controllers.
