Thyristors - TRIACs

The L2004F312 TRIAC is an advanced high power controllable silicon device which integrates two thyristors in the same package. A TRIAC is related to an SCR (silicon controlled rectifier), with the addition of a second gate. This control gate allows power to flow in both directions when triggered, making the TRIAC an optimal choice for applications involving alternating current (AC).

Application Field

The L2004F312 is primarily used for power control in many industries, such as lighting controls, electric heating, motor-speed control, and appliance control. It is also used in various applications requiring power up to 12A, with a voltage rating of 400V. This versatile device is suited for industrial, domestic, commercial, and power control applications.

Working Principle

When used for power control, TRIACs rely on the device’s conduction characteristics. In a TRIAC, the main current can flow in either direction, going through both the main terminals. This is possible because the two thyristors inside the TRIAC interconnect so that the two gates are always connected. When triggered, the power flows from the main terminal to the control terminal and then back to the main terminal through the thyristor’s switching capabilities.

When switching in both directions, the TRIAC is particularly advantageous over SCRs. Unlike SCRs, TRIACs are independent of the polarity of the main voltage. This means power can be switched in both directions without triggering a reverse voltage protection mode.

TRIACs are superior to manual switches because they open and close themselves using an electrical signal. This allows for very precise control of the power supply, making it ideal for applications such as motor-speed control, lighting control, and appliance control. Using TRIACs allows the user to adjust the power level over a wide range, giving it advantages in efficiency, safety, and convenience.

Conclusion

The L2004F312 TRIAC is a versatile power switching device capable of controlling up to 12 Amps of current. Its ability to switch power in both directions makes it an ideal choice for many power control applications. When used with an appropriate controller, the device can accurately and precisely control the electrical load, making it an attractive option for both domestic and industrial use.
