dear friends
i know that i can use triacs (bta16 etc) to control the ACv
is there any such devises are available to control ACV of 9v/12v?
as we cannot use the bta 16 for low voltage
what all things should i take care
is there any schem available ?
thanking you
jo

Hi Jo;
I think you could use 4016/4066, which is a Quad Analog Switch, this one allow you to digitally control an analogue switch, this chip contains 4 switches. please see the data sheet to know more.
I hope this meets your requirements.
Best regards

Hi
Please tel us :
-what kind of control you need (phase angle like dimmers ? on/off only ?)
-intensity value : How many A ?
According to your precise needs answers are not the same :
small relay, optotriac, 2 small thyristors, triac with pic, analog switches ......
(You can use triac based dimmer schematic if your replace diac by something else....working under 32V !!)
You say :
"as we cannot use the bta 16 for low voltage...."
When reading data sheet for this component I dont see why you could not use it for 9V/12V application if you respect minimal gate current(IGT) and voltage (VGT) to switch on and then holding current (IH) to stay 'on'. You have of course to compute new gate resistor value.
Regards

dear friends
i want to on/off a solinoid which works on 12 vac and consumes about 500mA current
can i use the triac bta 16? or any other components are avilable for the same application
i am not so expert. so please forgive for the silly questions
thanking you

Hello,
Yes, you can use BTA 16 to ON/OFF you solinoid with 12 VAC.
You need to have two power supply insulated, one for 12VAC and an other for the control.
Generally BTA 16 need a current of 10mA or more on Trigger to ON/OFF the BTA.
The resistor on the Trigger is calculate doing that : for VCC=5v by example, R=U/I so R=(5-0.6)/0.015=293 Ohms take 270 or 330 Ohms.
5=VCC, 0.6 is V Trigger, 0.015 is 15mA.
Best regards.

Dear friend
thank you for the reply
i will try this solution
if i can use bta 16, i can use other triacs (small size)also for the same application.
what is to be taken care when i am selecting a triac?
the terminal current flow?
regards
jo

Hi,
Yes, you can use smaller triacs.
If you use small current Triacs, you can use higher value for the resistor on Trigger, because small Triacs are very sensitive.
For 500mA, a Triac 1A is Ok.
Take a minimum of 50v for the Triac, because when triacs became open the solenoid make an over-voltage due to inductive flow.
If you want only ON/OFF your solenoid, it is possible to use a simple relay, the contact of relay work in DC but in AC too.
Regards
