A TRIAC starts conducting when a current flowing into or out of its gate is sufficient to turn on the relevant junctions in the quadrant of operation. The minimum current able to do this is called gate threshold current and is generally indicated by I GT. In a typical TRIAC, the gate threshold current is generally a few milliamperes, but one ...
AS 1103.2-1982 - "Diagrams charts and tables for electrotechnology, Part 2: Item Designation" (Superseded by AS 3702-1989.) AS 3702-1989 - "Item designation in electrotechnology". (Equivalent to IEC 60750 Edition 1.0, 1983.) IEC 113 (Superseded by IEC 750, i.e. IEC 60750.) IEC 750-1983 (AS 3702 is equivalent, but provides extra information.)
SCR 4-layer (p-n-p-n) diagram. A silicon controlled rectifier or semiconductor controlled rectifier is a four-layer solid-state current-controlling device.The name "silicon controlled rectifier" is General Electric's trade name for a type of thyristor.
Wire crossover symbols for circuit diagrams. The CAD symbol for insulated crossing wires is the same as the older, non-CAD symbol for non-insulated crossing wires. To avoid confusion, the wire "jump" (semi-circle) symbol for insulated wires in non-CAD schematics is recommended (as opposed to using the CAD-style symbol for no connection), so as to avoid confusion with the original, older style ...
A circuit diagram (or: wiring diagram, electrical diagram, elementary diagram, electronic schematic) is a graphical representation of an electrical circuit. A pictorial circuit diagram uses simple images of components, while a schematic diagram shows the components and interconnections of the circuit using standardized symbolic representations.
High-voltage or high-current devices can be controlled with small, low voltage wiring and pilots switches. Operators can be isolated from the high voltage circuit. Low power devices such as microprocessors can drive relays to control electrical loads beyond their direct drive capability. In an automobile, a starter relay allows the high current ...
In the following example crowbar circuit, the LM431 adjustable zener regulator controls the gate of the TRIAC. The resistor divider of R 1 and R 2 provide the reference voltage for the LM431. The divider is set so that during normal operating conditions, the voltage across R 2 is slightly lower than V REF of the LM431. Since this voltage is ...
A wiring diagram for parts of an electric guitar, showing semi-pictorial representation of devices arranged in roughly the same locations they would have in the guitar. An automotive wiring diagram, showing useful information such as crimp connection locations and wire colors. These details may not be so easily found on a more schematic drawing.
