Description

The BT138-600E is a logic-level TRIAC designed for general-purpose switching and phase control of AC loads. Rated for 600V and up to 12A RMS on-state current, it is ideal for dimmer circuits, AC motor control, heater regulation, and solid-state relays.

What sets this variant apart is its low gate trigger current, which allows direct interfacing with microcontrollers (such as Arduino, ESP32, or STM32) without the need for a driver transistor—making it perfect for logic-level control applications.

Packaged in a TO-220 case, the BT138-600E offers good thermal performance and ease of mounting in PCB and heat sink configurations.


Key Features

  • Logic-level gate trigger – directly driven by microcontrollers

  • High voltage capability: 600V

  • Continuous on-state current: 12A

  • Compact TO-220 package for efficient heat dissipation

  • Suitable for resistive and inductive loads

  • Ideal for phase control, switching, and SSR applications
