Description

The BT137-600E is a 3-pin, sensitive gate Triac (Bidirectional Thyristor) designed for high-performance, bidirectional switching and phase control applications. It is specifically engineered to interface directly with low-power microcontrollers, logic ICs, and other sensitive drive circuits.

Key Features & Technical Details:
Voltage Rating: 600V Repetitive peak off-state voltage
Current Rating: 8A RMS On-state current.
Gate Sensitivity: “Series E” indicates a sensitive gate, typically requiring low gate trigger current 10-25 mA (depending on specific manufacturer, with 10mA being standard for this series).
Quadrant Operation: Four-quadrant triggering (Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4) allows for flexible control in AC phase-angle circuits.
Surge Current: High surge current tolerance = 65A at 20ms).
