Description
1. Current Rating: The Triac is capable of carrying a maximum continuous current of 16A. This means it can handle loads or circuits that draw up to 16A of current without being damaged.
2. Voltage Rating: The Triac has a maximum voltage rating of 600V, indicating the highest voltage it can safely withstand during operation. This rating determines the maximum voltage at which the Triac can control the AC power.
3. Triac Operation: A Triac is a three-terminal device that can control the flow of alternating current. It functions as a bidirectional switch, allowing current to flow in both directions during different halves of the AC waveform.
4. Gate Control: The Triac is controlled by applying a gate current to its gate terminal. The gate signal triggers the Triac and allows it to conduct current. The Triac remains conducting until the current through it drops below a certain threshold.
