T835T-8T

A thyristor is an electronic component that is used within a circuit as a switch, and can be used to control the applications of power within an electronic system. TRIACs, or Triode for Alternating Current, are a type of thyristor which provide specific characteristics, while the T835T-8T is one of the most common types of TRIACs currently used. It is particularly popular within the field of motor control, load switching and as an interface between control systems and an AC power system.

A TRIAC is a 3-terminal semiconductor device which is used to control current from AC sources and features both an Anode and a Cathode, as well as a Gate terminal. This means that current can be controlled in both directions from the Anode to the Cathode, meaning that rather than transistors which are limited to a single switching direction, TRIACs can be used to control current in both directions as desired. As such, the T835T-8T is ideal for a variety of medium-to-high power applications.

The T835T-8T is a four quadrant TRIAC, which is primarily used for medium and high-power applications. It is part of a family of TRIACs which includes low-voltage and low-current versions, as well as high voltage and high-current versions. The nominal blocking voltage of the T835T-8T is 600V, and it is rated to carry a maximum current of 8A.

The T835T-8T is often used in motor control applications, where it can be used to control the speed and torque of a motor. It can also be used in applications such as load switching, where it can be used to regulate the power supplied to a load. In addition, the T835T-8T can be used as an interface between a control system and an AC power system, allowing the latter to be controlled and monitored by the former.

The working principle of the T835T-8T is based on the ability of the Gate terminal to act as a switch. When a voltage above a certain threshold is applied to the Gate terminal it causes the TRIAC to turn on, allowing current to flow from the Anode to the Cathode. The Gate terminal can then be used to control the current, allowing it to be switched off and on as desired. Furthermore, the Gate terminal allows the current to be controlled in both directions as well, meaning that it is possible to almost completely shut off the current without disconnecting the power source, making it ideal for applications such as motor control.

In conclusion, the T835T-8T is a TRIAC which is commonly used in a variety of medium-to-high power applications. It features a nominal blocking voltage of 600V and a current rating of 8A, which makes it ideal for applications such as motor control or load switching. Additionally, its ability to be controlled in both directions, as well as its Gate terminal makes it an easy to use switch for a variety of applications.
