Results for tag: "TRIAC"

A TRIAC (Triode for Alternating Current) is a three-terminal electronic component used in electrical engineering for controlling current. It is a semiconductor device that can be used to control the current in an alternating current (AC) circuit. It is a type of thyristor, which is a type of switch that can be used to control the flow of current in an AC circuit. TRIACs are used in a variety of applications, such as motor control, lighting control, and power control. They are also used in the control of AC power supplies, such as in power supplies for computers and other electronic devices. TRIACs are widely used in the electrical engineering industry, and there are a number of companies that manufacture and supply them. Some of these companies include Littelfuse, Vishay, STMicroelectronics, NXP Semiconductors, and ON Semiconductor. Show Less Read more
