BCR16CM-12LC#BB0

Overview

The BCR16CM-12LC#BB0 is a standard triac manufactured by Renesas Electronics Corporation, belonging to the thyristor product category. It is designed for through-hole mounting in the TO-220F package. The device supports a maximum RMS on-state current of 16 A and offers a repetitive peak off-state voltage rating of 600 V. It operates within a junction temperature range of -40°C to 150°C. The component features a single-phase configuration with a maximum gate trigger current of 30 mA and a maximum gate trigger voltage of 1.5 V.

Feature Summary

• Standard triac configuration suitable for general AC power control applications
• Robust thermal management capability with a high junction temperature rating up to 150°C
• High current carrying capacity of 16 A RMS for demanding load switching

Applications

• Industrial motor speed control systems
• Solid state relay (SSR) modules
• General purpose AC power switching circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix BB0 against official Renesas documentation to confirm exact packaging or marking variations. Confirm availability status as distribution data may not reflect current production allocation. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints for the TO-220F package before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 16 A RMS current rating and 600 V blocking voltage are required for AC loads. The TO-220F package provides adequate heat dissipation for moderate power levels without requiring extensive external heatsinking in many designs. Verify that the 30 mA gate trigger current aligns with the driving circuit capabilities.

Part Context

This part belongs to the BCR16 series of standard triacs from Renesas Electronics. The series is characterized by high reliability and robust construction for industrial environments. The BCR16CM-12LC#BB0 variant specifically denotes the 16 A, 600 V version in the TO-220F through-hole package.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other 16 A, 600 V standard triacs in TO-220F packages from manufacturers such as STMicroelectronics or Infineon. Ensure equivalent gate trigger characteristics and thermal resistance values are met for direct substitution.
