L6008L655

Thyristors - TRIACs are a special type of thyristor known as a Bidirectional Triode Alternating Current (TRIAC) device. TRIACs act as a switch that can control either an AC or DC current. The L6008L655 is a 3-terminal, bidirectional, SCR thyristor. It is designed with a voltage blocking capability of 600V, with an AC load current of 8A. It features high stability, a low turn-off rate, and is well suited for a wide range of applications.

The primary application of the L6008L655 is in industrial, lighting and automotive control systems. It is also used in power supply control circuits, AC motor speed control circuits, electronic ballasts, solid-state relays, and household appliances. By connecting the gate terminal with the anode and cathode terminals, the thyristor can be used as a switch to turn on or off a load circuit.

The working principle of the L6008L655 thyristor is based on the thyristor trilogic. This trilogic operates in two stages - the first stage is the forward breakover (FBO); the second stage is the reverse breakover (RBO). In the forward breakover, the thyristor is turned on when a current is passed between the anode and the gate of the thyristor. In the reverse breakover, the thyristor is turned on when a current is applied between the cathode and the gate of the thyristor.

To turn the thyristor off, the current is cut off at either the anode or the cathode. The L6008L655 thyristor is designed to operate at a voltage of up to 600V and an AC load current of up to 8A. Furthermore, the impulse current peak power of the thyristor is up to 4000W.

The L6008L655 is a reliable and robust device with a variety of features designed to meet the needs of a wide range of applications. It is suitable for switching, speed control, and light dimming applications. With its wide operating range and high power capability, the L6008L655 is an ideal choice for a variety of AC and DC applications.
