Top Features
- Used in gate control circuits
- Starting element in lamp ballasts
- Allows current in both directions
- Low breakover current
Used in conjunction with triacs for simplified gate control circuits or as a starting element in fluorescent lamp ballasts. The DIAC is a semiconductor device that has three layers and two junctions. It consists of two diodes in parallel, one in forward bias and the other in reverse bias condition, allowing current to pass in both directions under specific conditions.
The acronym DIAC stands for the diode for alternating current, indicating its ability to control current flow in AC circuits.
- Package Includes: 5 x DB3 DIAC - Trigger Mode
