MMT08B260T3G Application Field and Working Principle

Thyristors are a class of semiconductor components controlled by electrical signal in their gate, which can turn "ON" and "OFF", and make a great contribution to the development of modern electronic applications. MMT08B260T3G is a kind of thyristors specifically developed by Mersen, a French manufacturer.

Overview of MMT08B260T3G

MMT08B260T3G is a diode thyristor. It is available in three different types for business purpose. Type I and Type II are pnpn for AC switching applications; whereas Type III is the inverse Littelfuse diode for low voltage AC loads. This thyristor has a high off-state voltages up to 8 kV, low rms on-state current up to 20 A, and fast turn-on and turn-off times. Its maximum ratings, such as, on-state voltage (IdV) and operating temperature (Tc) are specified.

Application Field

The MMT08B260T3G is suitable for use in minimal space where heat dissipation is not required, such as motor control applications, AC switching applications, general electronic equipment, and other applications involving arcs and surges.

Working Principle

The working principle of MMT08B260T3G is similar to other thyristors. When a gate voltage greater than the rated voltage is applied to the gate, the thyristor starts to conduct in the forward direction and the switch remains "on". The current conducting will continue until the current through the device falls below the holding current, at which point the switch turns "off".

Conclusion

The MMT08B260T3G is a reliable and cost-efficient diode thyristor with excellent performance which is suitable for a wide range of applications. It has high off-state voltages up to 8 kV, low rms on-state current up to 20 A, and fast turn-on and turn-off times, making it an ideal choice for motor control applications, AC switching applications, general electronic equipment and other applications involving arcs and surges.
