A: It depends on the current load but the Small terminal is the gate that will allow the triac to conduct. However the gate cannot be used to shut it off, The only way to shut it off is t reduce the current below the holding current or revering the polarity for the triac when conducting

Contrast the scr and the triac?

Essentially an Scr is a solid state switch that will only allow current to flow in one direction. A triac is essentially two scr's in Anti- parallel that allows current to pass in both directions.

What is the difference between a DIAC and a TRIAC?

A DIAC is simply a diode that breaks down at predictable voltage.A TRIAC is a 3 terminal device that will conduct whether the anode is at a positive or a negative potential, controlled by a gate.Another answerThey are AC versions of the SCR and diode respectively. Do you need more details?

What is output of triac?

A triac (triode for alternating current) is a type of semiconductor device that can control current flow in both directions, making it suitable for AC applications. When triggered, it allows current to flow until the current drops below a certain threshold, at which point it turns off. The output of a triac can vary based on the control signal and the load, allowing for dimming of lights, speed control in motors, and other applications in power electronics. Its ability to switch and control AC power makes it widely used in lighting and motor control systems.
