Z0107NA/DG,116 Discrete Semiconductor Products

Thyristors - TRIACs are solid-state semiconductor devices which act as switches, able to control the flow of electricity in both directions. The Z0107NA/DG,116 TRIAC is a type of TRIAC specifically designed for many applications. It is a medium power silicon bidirectional switch with an arithmetic current rating of 1.0 amp.

The device is available in a standard TO-92 package and is often used in various home appliances. It has high commutating speed and low noise level. It is suitable for situations in which high voltage and current needs to be controlled, such as time switching and phase control applications.

The Z0107NA/DG,116 TRIAC consists of two main regions: the main conduction layer and the gate layer. The main conduction layer consists of a pair of oppositely-oriented PN junctions. These junctions act as a pair of back-to-back diodes, allowing current to flow between the two ends. When a positive trigger voltage is applied to the gate, the gate current is able to control the current in the main conduction layer by controlling the width of the conduction channel.

As the voltage increases, the current of the Z0107NA/DG,116 TRIAC also increases, eventually reaching its maximum. This is often referred to as the "breakover" point, as the TRIAC will no longer be able to control the current after this point. When the voltage reaches a certain threshold level, the device will switch off its current controlling ability, allowing the full current to flow through the device. This is often referred to as the "latch up" state.

In terms of safety, the Z0107NA/DG,116 TRIAC has the capability to withstand high levels of overvoltage without suffering damage. In addition, the circuitry is able to withstand a voltage twice that of the rated voltage. Additionally, the device is thermally stable, meaning that it has minimal temperature dependence. It is also able to operate safely under high temperature conditions.

The Z0107NA/DG,116 TRIAC is often used in various applications, such as lighting dimmer circuits, motor control systems, and electrical heating circuits. It can be used for power switching and phase control, allowing for precise control of current and voltage. It can also be used for safety-critical applications, as it is able to withstand high levels of overvoltage. The device also features a low leakage current, meaning that it can be used for long-term power applications.

In summary, the Z0107NA/DG,116 TRIAC is a very useful device for many applications. It has a good power-handling capability, is thermally stable, and can withstand high levels of overvoltage. It is often used in lighting dimmer circuits, motor control systems and electrical heating circuits. It is also used in safety-critical applications, due to its low leakage current.
