Q6008F51

Thyristors - TRIACs

Thyristor is a semiconductor device with three terminals and two junctions. It is mainly used in the control and regulation of electrical power and currents. The thyristor family also includes the triac, which is a bidirectional device and has the ability to allow current to flow in both directions. The device is suitable for AC applications due to its bidirectional function.

Q6008F51 Application Field and Working Principle

The Q6008F51 is a 120A, 600V Triac device that has been designed for general purpose, heavy load AC switching applications. The device features a low gate power trigger, fast turn-off, and a high surge capability to ensure a higher system reliability and a wide range of regulating applications. The device is ideal for applications that require high power circuit control. The Q6008F51 is suitable for both consumer and industrial applications including light dimmers, heater control, motor speed control, and high current relay control.

The Q6008F51 works by gating on and off when the voltage at the gate terminal is triggered. When the gate voltage is low, no current is allowed to pass. When the gate voltage is above the specified turn-on threshold, the device turns on and allows current to pass. When the voltage at the gate is above the specified turn-off threshold, the device turns off and prevents current from passing. The device is triggered by a signal or a signal combined with a current, depending on the application. It is important to note that the Q6008F51 must not exceed the peak on-state current specified by the manufacturer.

The Q6008F51 is designed to operate efficiently in applications that require high power ratings at high switching frequencies. The device is a highly reliable and cost effective solution for medium power control applications. The device features a low gate current trigger and fast turn-off time for high power applications. In addition, the device has a high surge capability for higher system reliability as well as a wide range of regulating applications. The device also features a high ability to withstand voltage and noise spikes to ensure reliable operation in all conditions.
