BCR12FM-14LB#FA0

Overview

The BCR12FM-14LB#FA0 is a standard triac manufactured by Renesas Electronics Corporation, designed for medium power applications. It features an 800 V off-state voltage and supports a maximum RMS on-state current of 12 A. The component utilizes a TO-220FPA through-hole package, suitable for robust industrial mounting. As part of the thyristor family, it provides reliable switching capabilities for AC power control circuits requiring high voltage blocking and moderate current handling.

Feature Summary

• Standard triac configuration for general AC power switching
• High voltage blocking capability up to 800 V
• Through-hole mounting for secure mechanical attachment

Applications

• Medium power industrial motor controls
• AC power regulation systems
• Resistive load switching applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact suffix #FA0 against official Renesas documentation to confirm specific pinout and thermal characteristics. Confirm availability status as distribution data may vary. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB layouts for TO-220FPA packages before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when an 800 V rating is required for AC line voltages exceeding 600 V. The 12 A RMS current capacity suits medium-duty loads. Consider the TO-220FPA package for applications needing direct heatsink mounting or higher mechanical stability compared to surface-mount alternatives.

Part Context

This device belongs to the BCR12 series of triacs from Renesas, which are engineered for medium-power thyristor applications. The series offers standardized electrical characteristics for industrial use, providing a balance between voltage withstand and current carrying capacity in a durable through-hole form factor.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with BCR12LM-12LB-1#B00 for similar current ratings but different voltage specifications. Verify that alternative triacs match the 800 V off-state requirement and TO-220FPA footprint to ensure functional interchangeability.
