Description
This Sanken reverse blocking triode thyristor is designed for
AC power control, providing reliable, uniform switching for
half-cycle AC applications.
In comparison with other products on the market, the TFA10x
series provides increased isolation voltage (1800 VAC
RMS
),
guaranteed for up to 1 minute. In addition, commutation
dv/dt is improved.
Package: 3-pin SIP (TO-220F)
Applications
▪
Motor control for small tools
▪
Temperature control, light dimmers, electric blankets
▪
General use switching mode power supplies (SMPS)
Not to scale
Typical Applications
M
Single-phase motor control (for example, electric tool)
In-rush current control (for example, SMPS)
