Thyristors are a type of transistor that acts as a switch, allowing or blocking the flow of current. TRIACs are a type of thyristor specifically designed for AC current; they\'re bistable switches, meaning they allow current flow in both directions. The MAC16CN is a type of TRIAC with a number of applications and a simple working principle.

The MAC16CN is characterized by a rated VDRM (Peak On-State voltage) of 800 V, a maximum current rating of 16 A and a maximum Gate Trigger current (IGT) of 80 mA. The maximum “on-state” power handling capacity is 1250 V, meaning it can effectively handle loads of up to 1250 V. These characteristics make the MAC16CN ideal for applications where high current and voltage are both necessary.

The MAC16CN is used in a wide range of applications, from modest items such as room lighting and appliances to large industrial systems. It is frequently used as the switching element in electric motor switching and speed control, as well as other stage-by-stage control systems. The MAC16CN is also found in industrial automation, like temperature controls, and is often used in power supplies, audio amplifiers and electric drills. As a TRIAC, it is typically used in applications that involve dimming bulbs and controlling lighting.

At its core, the working principle of the MAC16CN is fairly simple. When switched on, an electric current passes from the anode to the cathode; this flow is controlled by applying an appropriate gate current, also known as a pulse. The pulse is generated by the control circuit and can be adjusted to control the amount of current flowing through the triac. The switching action of the TRIAC is effectively reversed when a gate current of exactly the same magnitude but with a reverse sign is applied. As a result, the MAC16CN can effectively switch AC current in both directions.

In summary, the MAC16CN is a type of TRIAC that is rated at 800 VDRM and 16 A, and with a maximum “on-state” power handling capacity of 1250 V. It is used in a variety of applications, from everyday items to industrial processes, and its working principle is based on applying gate current pulses to control the current flow through the TRIAC. Thanks to its superb performance, reliability and affordability, the MAC16CN is one of the most popular TRIACs available on the market.
