Z0103MN 6AA4 Discrete Semiconductor Products

A thyristor is a type of solid-state semiconductor device with four layers of alternating N and P-type material. They act as electronic switches, controlling the flow of electrical current when triggered by an external voltage. TRIACs (Triode for Alternating Current) are a special type of thyristor that can control bothHalf-wave and Full-wave current. The Z0103MN 6AA4 TRIAC is one such device, designed for use in low voltage AC switching applications.

The Z0103MN 6AA4 has an operating voltage of 6 volts and a holding current of 100mA. It is a 3-pin device and the pins are numbered as G (Gate), MT1 (MT1) and MT2 (MT2). The Body diode of the device has a peak surge of 1.5A. The Gate trigger Voltage is 1 volt and the Gate trigger Current is 5mA.

The Z0103MN 6AA4 can be used in a variety of applications such as lighting control, motor control, heating and cooling, and process control. When used in a circuit, it is connected between two points in the circuit, normally referred to as MT1 and MT2. When Gate trigger Voltage (1V) is applied to the Gate, it triggers the thyristor, causing it to conduct current between MT1 and MT2. This process is also known as PULSING.

The Z0103MN 6AA4 is a versatile and reliable device that is suitable for a wide range of AC switching applications. It is easy to use, with a low gate trigger voltage (1V) and a high holding current (100mA). Its low cost and simple operation make it a popular choice for many types of AC circuits.
