It’s a wonderful thing to see a clever hack repair instead of disposing of a product. The best repair approach is finding exact replacement components, but sometimes exact components can’t be sourced ...

With the focus naturally going towards some of the big electric car launches we've had this year or established players like Tesla Motors, it's all too easy to forget that there are a wealth of ...

ORLANDO, Florida — Patients with Allan-Herndon-Dudley syndrome (AHDS), an extremely rare, X-linked disorder causing moderate to severe intellectual disability and problems with movement, show ...

Is there a Triac in your future? Maybe — if your conscience has evolved to a deep shade of green and you have $25,000 to spare on a locally manufactured, three-wheeled gasless electric vehicle with a ...

Some curious vehicles have emerged on the electric vehicle market over the years, and few have been more curious than the Triac. We first wrote about the Triac three-wheel electric vehicle back in ...

Le Triac est un composant électronique équivalent à la mise en parallèle de deux thyristors montés tête-bêche (l'anode de l'un serait reliée à la cathode de l'autre, les gâchettes rèspectives étant, ...

Triacs are used to control ac mains loads in home appliances, and commercial and industrial equipment. In the majority of applications, the triac will dissipate sufficient power to make thermal ...

Modern power control systems utilize electronic devices like Thyristors for power switching, phase control, chopper etc. These devices also find applications in inverter design, brilliance control in ...

Check out this link for On Semiconductor’s datasheet for a line of “Zero-Cross Optocoupled Triac Drivers.” The ability to zero-cross when turning on AC line voltage to some loads may be advantageous.

The LM3445 from National Semiconductor enables a full 100:1 range of offline, uniform, flicker-free dimming for high-brightness LEDs with a conventional TRIAC forward or reverse phase-control wall ...

For switching high-powered loads from a microcontroller, or for switching AC loads in general, most of us will reach into the parts bin and pull out a generic relay of some sort. Relays are ...
