1. What is the breakover voltage of a DIAC or SIDAC?
The breakover voltage is the voltage at which the device becomes conductive. It varies depending on the specific device, typically ranging from 30V to 250V for SIDACs.
-
2. 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.
-
3. 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.
-
4. How does temperature affect DIACs and SIDACs?
Their operation is temperature-dependent, with most devices rated for operation between -40°C and 125°C. Higher temperatures can affect their triggering voltage.
