Z0109NN0,135 Discrete Semiconductor Products

A thyristor, also known as a TRIAC (triode ac switch), is an electronic component consisting of three electrical terminals and is usually used in AC switching applications. TRIACs have the advantage of being able to switch both directions of current flow and are therefore able to control both the positive and negative parts of an AC waveform. The Z0109NN0,135 is a general purpose TRIAC manufactured by TEConcepts, and is suitable for a wide range of applications.

The Z0109NN0,135 has a maximum load current of 3 Amps, a maximum repetitive peak off-state voltage of 600V, a typical gate trigger current of 2-3 mA and a typical turn-on time of 10mS. It is suitable for operation in both AC and DC applications and has specs for both high and low temperature operation. It is usually used in the control and switching of AC loads such as electric motors, power control circuits and low-power lighting control circuits.

The Z0109NN0,135 thyristor is a 3-terminal device consisting of a main and a control electrode. The main electrode, or Gate electrode, is used as the input interface to the thyristor and is responsible for controlling the current flow through the thyristor. The Gate electrode allows current to flow in both directions, meaning it can be used as a switch to turn both an AC and DC current on and off. The control electrode is used to initiate the current flow in the thyristor and is responsible for triggering the switching action.

The Z0109NN0,135 thyristor works by using the external Gate electrode to apply a specific amount of voltage from an external power source and to trigger the switching action. When the external trigger voltage is applied, a small current flows from the Gate electrode to the control electrode, causing the thyristor to switch on. Once turned on, the thyristor will stay on for as long as the Gate voltage remains applied, allowing current to flow through it, until it is turned off by the external voltage being removed.

The Z0109NN0,135 thyristor is a versatile and reliable device, suitable for a range of applications in both AC and DC control systems. It is an ideal device for controlling electric motors, power control circuits and low-power lighting control circuits. Furthermore, its reliable switching action, high current handling capability and wide temperature range make it a great choice for many applications.
