Showing Results For: DIACs
DIACs (Diode for Alternating Current) are essential components in power electronics, widely utilised in circuits that require precise control of alternating current. They are semiconductor devices that function as bidirectional switches, allowing current to flow only when a specific breakdown voltage is reached. This makes them highly suitable for triggering TRIACs in AC circuits, enabling efficient power delivery control. As they do not conduct until the correct voltage is achieved, DIACs are a perfect choice for applications where accurate and reliable triggering is crucial.
DIACs are commonly used in power electronics because they provide a smooth and controlled switching action, which reduces noise and power surges in AC circuits. Their symmetrical operation ensures that they can handle both positive and negative voltages, making them ideal for triggering TRIACs in bidirectional AC circuits. What's more, these devices are not only reliable but also cost-effective, making them an attractive option for various applications requiring power control.
