Thyristors - TRIACs have been widely used in various applications, such as power control, motor speed control, heat control, lighting control, and much more. They are used for several reasons such as their ability to control the current with a given voltage and the fact that their ohmic losses are much lower than conventional resistive components. One of the more popular thyristor is the L0103MTRP4, which is a dual Thyristor-TRIAC (or simply Triac) specially designed to switch power.

The L0103MTRP4 is a Snubberless bidirectional Triac, equipped with a gate that facilitates the control over the electrical circuit by adjusting the current flow to the load. It features a maximum current of 4 A (RMS) at 400V and has a quite high surge current capability of 12 A. In addition, it is equipped with an integrated temperature sensor and built-in creepage distance that provide maximum safety.

Due to its excellent performance and reliability, the L0103MTRP4 has a broad range of applications, from dimmers to speed controllers and from heaters to household appliances. As far as the working principle is concerned, the device works in a similar way to the two-port switch, although operating on a much lower frequency. Basically, when the gate is driven in the appropriate direction, the device activates the current and the voltage switch to the connected load.

In order to control the current flow in the circuit, the L0103MTRP4 features an adjustable gate current. This can be done by connecting an additional resistor or capacitive network between the gate and neutral which help to control the timing and turn-on/off characteristics. In other hand, the safety element of the device provides an over-voltage and over-temperature protection which allows further control of the current and avoids short-circuits.

The L0103MTRP4 is a great example of the variety of Thyristors - TRIACs available when it comes to controlling current in power applications. Although these devices may not always be the most ideal choice, their combination of performance, flexibility and safety makes them the go-to solution for many applications.
