BCR5FM-14LJ#BB0

Overview

The BCR5FM-14LJ#BB0 is a medium power triac manufactured by Renesas Electronics Corporation. It features a repetitive peak off-state voltage (VDRM) of 700 V and an RMS on-state current (IT(RMS)) of 5 A. The device utilizes a gate trigger current (IFGTI, IRGTI, IRGTIII) of 30 mA with a maximum gate trigger voltage of 1.5 V. It operates within a junction temperature range of -40 °C to 150 °C and provides an isolation voltage (Viso) of 2000 V. The component is housed in an insulated planar passivation package suitable for general-purpose AC power control applications.

Feature Summary

• Insulated planar passivation construction for enhanced reliability
• High thermal stability with a guaranteed maximum junction temperature of 150°C
• Standard gate trigger characteristics compatible with common control circuits

Applications

• White goods motor control
• Home appliance heater control
• General-purpose AC power control

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix #BB0 against official Renesas documentation to confirm exact packaging and tape-and-reel specifications. Ensure compatibility with existing board layouts regarding the TO-220F package dimensions. Confirm availability through authorized distributors as standard stock levels may vary. Request updated datasheets to verify any recent design changes or obsolescence notices prior to finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 5 A RMS current rating and 700 V blocking voltage are required for medium power applications. The 30 mA gate trigger current offers a balance between sensitivity and noise immunity. Consider the 150°C junction temperature limit for high-thermal environments. Verify that the insulated package type meets the safety isolation requirements of the target equipment design.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Renesas BCR series of medium power triacs designed for robust performance in consumer electronics. The series typically includes variants with different current ratings and voltage classes, all sharing similar insulation and thermal characteristics. These components are widely used in residential appliances where reliable AC switching is essential for motor and heating element regulation.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 5 A, 700 V triacs in TO-220 packages with comparable gate trigger currents. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal resistance values before substitution. Cross-reference with Renesas' recommended replacement lists if available.
