L4004V5TP

Thyristors - TRIACs

The L4004V5TP, also known as a TRIAC, is an advanced member of the thyristor family which is widely used in power circuits and in intelligent control systems. Thyrisors are semiconductor devices that are used to control the flow of current or the switching on or off of the power circuits. A TRIAC is an electronic switch that can be used to switch on and off current, and is able to run in either direction.

The L4004V5TP is a high performance detail with a maximum peak surge current of up to 6000 A (8/20 μs). This device, with its combination of high blocking voltage, peak surge current and short turn-on/turn-off times, is suitable for applications such as peripheral power supplies, lighting dimmers and active power filters as a switch or SCR/diode replacement.

Working Principle

The L4004V5TP is a three-terminal thyristor capable of controlling both positive and negative current with a single pole double throw switch. It is designed with a gate which controls the current flow. When a signal is sent to the gate, the thyristor is triggered and current is allowed to flow across the device. Turning off the signal will stop the current flow and the thyristor will turn off. This makes it an ideal device for applications where fast switching is required.

The L4004V5TP also takes advantage of its dual gate structure, which allows for two independent control signals. This gives it a unique ability to switch individual halves of the alternating current waveform, allowing for precise manipulation of the power output. Furthermore, the high surge current and short turn-on/turn-off times of the device make it well suited for applications such as rectifiers, motor control, lighting dimmers and active power filters.

Application Field

The L4004V5TP is most suitable for applications that require high power and current control. It is a great choice for rectifier and motor control, power supplies, dimming applications and active power filters. It is also well suited for intelligent control systems where precise manipulation of the power output is required. Finally, the high surge current and short turn-on/turn-off times make it a great choice for applications requiring fast switching.
