1. How do DIACs differ from SIDACs?
DIACs exhibit symmetrical voltage thresholds in both directions, while SIDACs often have higher breakover voltages and are suitable for applications requiring higher current capacities.
-
2. Can DIACs and SIDACs be used in DC circuits?
No, DIACs and SIDACs are designed specifically for AC circuits as their operation relies on alternating voltage polarities.
-
3. How do I select a DIAC or SIDAC for my application?
Key parameters include the breakover voltage, peak current, holding current, and the type of package. Selection should match the application's voltage and current requirements.
-
4. What are the advantages of using DIACs or SIDACs?
They provide reliable triggering mechanisms for thyristors, enhance circuit efficiency, and reduce the need for additional components.
