BT137-600E Triac – 600V 8A

The <strong>BT137-600E Triac</strong> is a robust, high-current semiconductor device engineered for demanding AC load control in industrial and high-power applications. With an impressive 8A RMS current rating and 600V voltage capability, this Triac excels in switching heavy-duty AC loads such as motors, industrial heaters, and high-intensity lighting systems. While it requires a slightly higher gate trigger current (10mA typical) compared to logic-level Triacs like the BT136, its rugged design ensures reliable performance in harsh environments. Compatible with driver circuits for microcontroller integration, the BT137-600E is ideal for automation systems, HVAC controls, and energy management solutions. The TO-220 package guarantees efficient thermal dissipation, making it a staple in industrial and commercial electronics. <hr /> <strong>Specifications (Categorized):</strong> <h3><strong>Electrical Ratings</strong></h3> <ul> <li><strong>Voltage Rating:</strong> 600V (Repetitive Peak Off-State Voltage, VDRM)</li> <li><strong>Current Rating:</strong> 8A RMS (On-State Current)</li> </ul> <h3><strong>On-State Performance</strong></h3> <ul> <li><strong>On-State Voltage Drop (Vtm):</strong> 1.7V (Max at 8A)</li> </ul> <h3><strong>Trigger & Stability</strong></h3> <ul> <li><strong>Gate Trigger Current (Igt):</strong> 10mA (Typical), 25mA (Max)</li> <li><strong>Holding Current (Ih):</strong> 10mA (Max)</li> <li><strong>Critical Rate of Rise (dv/dt):</strong> 50V/µs (Min)</li> </ul> <h3><strong>Environmental & Mechanical</strong></h3> <ul> <li><strong>Operating Temperature:</strong> -40°C to +125°C</li> <li><strong>Package:</strong> TO-220 (Through-Hole Mounting)</li> </ul>
