Q6008LTH1LED

Thyristors - TRIACs are outstanding components of modern electronics. They help electricians, circuit designers, and engineers control varied loads. They are used in applications such as lighting, electric heating, motor control, power supplies, and power factor correction.

The Q6008LTH1LED is a member of the thyristor family and provides many features. This Glass Passivated TRIAC has a vertical structure integrated with a fast and low-cost, high-speed diode. It comes with an isolated tab for heat dissipation and protection, making it suitable for universal mains applications.

Application Fields

The Q6008LTH1LED is particularly suited to applications involving universal mains, electronic heating and DC motor control. It can be used in applications such as lighting, electric motors, high voltage motors and AC drives. In addition, it can be used for control of electrical appliances, such as fans and pumps, and can be used in AC power control and AC Switching.

Working Principle

The basic principle behind any thyristor is a single device controlling multiple current paths. The Thyristor, in particular, is a three-terminal silicon device, where one of its terminals is called the gate-terminal. When a low voltage current is passed through the gate-terminal, the device turns ON and allows current to pass from one of its two main electrodes to another. The current flow will remain on until it stops receiving any signal from the gate terminal. When this state occurs, the Triac is said to be OFF.

In the Q6008LTH1LED, a small holding current can be applied to the gate terminal to maintain a low on-state current. This makes the device suitable for DC motor control. The Q6008LTH1LED uses an isolated tab for heat dissipation and protection, allowing it to sustain high levels of power.

Conclusion

The Q6008LTH1LED is one of the most versatile thyristors available in the market. Its impressive features, fast operation, and versatile applications make it ideal for applications that require the control of loads or the switching of power. Its isolated tab allows for great protection and heat dissipation, making it highly reliable even in challenging environments.
