CTA16-1200SW belongs to Thyristor - TRIACs category, which is a type of switch. It’s designed for AC and is used for controlling current. The CTA16-1200SW is a 16A (ampere) thyristor, with 1200V RMS (root mean square) working voltage and Snubberless™ design. Its main applications include power switching applications, induction heating, motor control, welding, lighting, and temperature control.

Thyristors are semiconductor switches that work by using a small current to switch a large one, meaning they only need a small amount of current to turn on and off. This makes them perfect for applications where large amounts of power must be controlled quickly and efficiently. Thyristors are also referred to as TRIACs (Triode for alternating current), as they’re specifically designed to control alternating current, such as in AC appliances.

The CTA16-1200SW is a fast switching thyristor, with a 25 μs (microsecond) turn on time and 10 μs turn off time. This makes it highly suitable for applications that require a fast, reliable switching action. In addition, it has a wide working temperature range between -40°C and 125°C, meaning it can be used in a range of high temperature applications. The Snubberless™ design ensures reliable power sharing, minimizing power dissipation and maximizing efficiency. It also has a unique production process to ensure maximum product performance and quality.

The CTA16-1200SW works by passing a control current through its gate leads, which in turn switches on the device. The Gate Current Gain (Gcd) (which is the ratio of the output current to the input current) of the CTA16-1200SW is typically expressed in amperes/volt (A/V), and is usually around 13.5 A/V. It also has a maximum on-state voltage drop at rated current (VTM) of 1.6V. The device has a leak current of less than 100 μA, making it extremely reliable and efficient.

In terms of safety, the CTA16-1200SW is equipped with built-in overvoltage and undervoltage protection, as well as over-temperature and over-current protection. These features ensure the device is able to operate without any risk of damage or failure, even in harsh environmental conditions. In addition, the device is RoHS compliant and UL Recognized, making it suitable for industrial use.

The CTA16-1200SW is an extremely versatile switch and is suitable for a wide range of applications requiring high power switching. Its fast switching action and high efficiency make it ideal for those applications where reliability and performance are paramount. With its built-in safety features and UL Recognition, it’s the perfect choice for industrial power switching applications.
