- A TRIAC is a three-terminal electronic component that conducts current in both directions when triggered.
Description
-
- Main Terminal Connected to Phase or neutral of AC mains
- Main Terminal Connected to Phase or neutral of AC mains
- Gate Used to trigger the SCR.
Features of BT136 600E TRIAC
- All TRIAC circuits suffer from an effect called Rate Effect, which occurs when the TRIAC is switching frequently and a sudden high voltage occurs at either main terminal of the TRIAC.
- Another effect called the backlash effect, occurs due to the capacitance that gets accumulated between the two terminals of the MT1 and MT2 of the TRIAC.
- Sometimes backward current flows when the TRIAC is switching inductive loads, so an alternate discharge path has to be provided for the load to drain the inrush.
- Direct triggering from low power drivers and logic ICS
- High blocking voltage capability
- Low holding current for low current loads and lowest EMI at commutation
- Planar passivated for voltage ruggedness and reliability
- Sensitive gate
- Triggering in all four quadrants
