T2535-800G-TR Discrete Semiconductor Products

Thyristors - TRIACs

The T2535-800G-TR is a high-voltage triac containing 800V, 25A peak gate current, short switching cycle time and small form factor. It was designed to meet the needs of industrial, electrical, and cryogenic applications.

A triac, also referred to as a bidirectional triode thyristor (TRT), is a type of semiconductor component that is used primarily as a switching device. Like other thyristors, the triac is composed of two semiconductor layers connected together with a central gate. However, unlike other thyristors, the triac can conduct current in both directions between its anode and cathode, allowing it to act as an AC switch.

The maximum current rating of a triac (or any other thyristor) is determined by its voltage ratings and its peak gate current, which is the maximum current that can be applied to the gate of the triac. The T2535-800G-TR has a peak gate current of 25A and a voltage ratings of 800V, which is suitable for many industrial and electrical applications.

The working principle of a triac is similar to that of other thyristors. When a current is applied to the gate of a triac, the current flows across the two semiconductor layers, switching the device on. This allows current to flow between the anode and the cathode. As long as the gate current is applied, the triac remains on, allowing the current to continue flowing through it. When the gate current is removed, the triac switches off, stopping the current from flowing.

The main difference between a triac and other thyristors is that the triac can switch both positive and negative voltages, making it ideal for AC-switching applications, such as motor control and power supply regulation. In addition, the short switching cycle time of the T2535-800G-TR makes it well-suited for use in cryogenic systems, where fast switching speeds are required.

The T2535-800G-TR triac has a wide range of applications, due to its high voltage ratings, short switching cycle time, and small form factor. It is commonly used in industrial and electrical applications, such as motor control and power utility grids, as well as in cryogenic systems, where fast switching speeds are required. Due to its long lifetime and reliable performance, the triac is also used in the medical, aviation and defense industries.

In conclusion, the T2535-800G-TR triac is a high-voltage triac designed for a variety of industrial, electrical and cryogenic applications. It features 800V, 25A peak gate current, short switching cycle time and small form factor. It works by using a gate current to switch on, allowing current to flow between its anode and cathode, and switches off when the gate current is removed. It is widely used in various industries, due to its long lifetime and reliable performance.
