BT136-600E

The BT136-600E is a triac (triode for alternating current) designed for general-purpose bidirectional switching and phase control applications. It is commonly used in AC power control systems, such as dimmers, motor speed controllers, and static relays. The BT136-600E is known for its robust performance and ability to handle moderate power loads.

Key Features:

• Voltage and Current Ratings:
  • Repetitive Peak Off-State Voltage (V_DRM): 600V
  • RMS On-State Current (I_T(RMS)): 4A (at T_tab ≤ 110°C)
  • Surge Current Rating (I_TSM): 25A (for one cycle, 50Hz)
• Trigger Characteristics:
  • Maximum Gate Trigger Voltage: Approximately 1.5V
  • Gate Trigger Current (I_GT): Typically less than 5mA, allowing easy triggering with low-power control circuits.
• Dynamic Performance:
  • Rate of Rise of Off-State Voltage: 5V/μs (typical)
  • Rate of Rise of On-State Current: 50A/μs
• Thermal & Environmental Ratings:
  • Operating Temperature: -40°C to 125°C
  • Package Type: TO-220AB, which allows for efficient heat dissipation and easy mounting onto heatsinks.
• Gate Sensitivity:
  • Sensitive gate, allowing for triggering using low gate current, making it suitable for interfacing with logic-level control circuits or microcontrollers.

Applications:

• Dimmers: For controlling the brightness of lighting systems.
• Motor Speed Controllers: Used in applications like fan regulators and other motor-driven devices.
• Static Relays: Suitable for switching AC loads with reliability and ease.

Package Information:

• The BT136-600E comes in a TO-220AB package, a widely used format in power semiconductor devices. It features three pins: MT1, MT2 (main terminals), and gate. The TO-220AB form factor allows easy mounting on heatsinks for improved thermal management.
