L2004V6

Thyristors are semiconductor devices used to control electric current and voltage. TRIACs are a type of thyristors which allow for the control of current and voltage in both directions. The L2004V6 is an example of a TRIAC which has been developed for use in industrial applications. This document will discuss the application fields of the L2004V6 and the principles on which it operates.

The L2004V6 is a four quadrant gate triggerable TRIAC which is used for switching and phase control applications. It is especially well suited for controlling high power applications as it has superior thermal and electrical characteristics. Because of its high current carrying capacity, it is suitable for applications involving large currents such as AC motor controllers, AC motors, light dimmers, and AC power supplies.

The L2004V6 is a 600V 4A TRIAC with a low-voltage, low-power gate trigger input. Its operating temperature range is -40°C to +90°C and its dv/dt min rating is 500V/µs. It has a low on-state voltage drop of 1.2V, a high breakdown voltage of 2200V and a low sub-threshold voltage of 2mV. It also offers excellent thermal short circuit protection and is suitable for use in a variety of industrial environments.

The L2004V6 is turned on when the gate voltage rises to a minimum value, known as the holding current. When the gate is triggered, the L2004V6 will begin to conduct, thus allowing the current to flow through it. The current through the L2004V6 is controlled by the gate voltage and can be adjusted to the required level. In order to turn off the L2004V6, the gate voltage must be lowered to a minimum value known as the latching current. By adjusting the gate voltage, the L2004V6 can be used to control the current or voltage of the application.

The L2004V6 is especially useful for applications that require the efficient control of high-power loads. Its thermal and electrical characteristics make it ideal for applications such as AC motor controllers, AC motors, light dimmers, and AC power supplies. Its ability to handle large currents and its low on-state voltage drop make it highly efficient and reliable. Its low voltage and low power gate trigger input also make it well-suited for use in a range of industrial applications.
