T835-600G

Thyristors - TRIACs

The T835-600G is a type of triac, which is an acronym for TRIode for Alternating Current. Triacs differ from other thyristor devices such as SCRs and DIACs in that they allow current to flow in both directions, which is beneficial in many AC applications. The T835-600G is a 600 volt, 5 amp TRIAC which is commonly used in motor control, lighting, heating, and other AC circuit applications.

Working Principle

At its most basic, a TRIAC is a bidirectional semiconductor device, consisting of two separate N type and P type semiconductor layers. In its un-triggered state, current will flow freely in both directions from one anode to the other, but it will not flow from anode to cathode. This is why AC applications are the primary application for TRIACs.

A variety of gate triggers are available for controlling TRIACs. In the T835-600G, for example, the gate trigger can be configured as a latching or non-latching type. Latching is the most commonly used, and it works by using a small amperage of current through the gate. This is then rectified by the two N and P transistors, which will then allow current to flow through the TRIAC.

Application Field

The T835-600G is used in a variety of applications, including motor control, heating and lighting. In motor control applications, the TRIAC can be used to control the speed and/or direction of an AC motor. It can also be used to control the power output of AC power supplies, dimmers, and lighting control. In heating applications, the TRIAC can be used to control the temperature of heating appliances, such as water machines and electric ovens.

The T835-600G can also be used in more complex applications, such as power supplies, static converters, radio frequency electric oscillation, welding machines and transmission lines. The versatility of this TRIAC makes it a very useful and reliable component for a wide variety of AC applications.

Conclusion

The T835-600G is a type of TRIAC which is commonly used in AC applications, such as motor control, heating and lighting. It is a 600 volt, 5 amp TRIAC, that can be configured with either a latching or non-latching gate trigger. The T835-600G’s versatility makes it a very reliable component for a wide range of AC applications, from simple motor control to complex static converters.
