SMT50-180 ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS

SMT50 ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS The electrical characteristics of a SMT50 device are similar to that of a self-gated Triac, but the SMT50 is a two terminal device with no gate. The gate function is achieved by an internal current controlled mechanism. Like the T.V.S. diodes, the SMT50 has a standoff voltage (Vrm) which should be equal to or greater than the.

When the current falls below a certain value, known as the Holding Current (Ih), the device resets automatically. device is reached (Ibo) which causes the device to switch to a fully conductive state such that the voltage across the device is now only a few volts (Vt). The voltage at which the device switched from the avalanche mode to the ful.
