TRIACs are three-terminal devices that belong to a family of semiconductor components called Thyristors. They are widely used in AC switching and control applications. A TRIAC is an acronym for "triode for alternating current". It is a semiconductor device with three terminals: anode, gate and cathode. The TRIAC can be thought of as two thyristors, in opposite orientation to each other, connected in series. It can control the current flow in both directions and can be triggered by a single control signal.

The L401E5 is a high-performance thyristor module from ON Semiconductor that is used in AC switching and control applications. The L401E5 features a robust four-layer package design and an enhanced gate structure to ensure reliable switching. It is optimized to switch at up to 600V and 200mA with a maximum junction temperature of 150°C. The module includes a built-in short-circuit protection feature to avoid accidental short-circuits. The L401E5 also has an extended frequency range up to 200kHz, making it suitable for high-speed applications.

The working principle of a TRIAC is based on the thyristor family of components. Thyristors are semiconductor devices that are triggered by a current or voltage pulse. A TRIAC acts like two thyristors connected in series and back-to-back. When a positive gate current is applied to the TRIAC, the first thyristor turns on, allowing current to flow from the anode to the cathode. When the gate current ceases, the second thyristor turns off, preventing current from flowing from the anode to the cathode. By applying a negative gate current, the same effect is achieved in the opposite direction.

The L401E5 is suitable for AC switching and control applications such as: motor control, lighting control, power line transmission, power distribution (inverter circuits) and switching logic. It is also commonly used in building automation and HVAC systems. The versatility of the TRIAC makes it a popular choice for AC switching and control applications.
