BCR8FM-14LJ#BB0

Overview

The BCR8FM-14LJ#BB0 is a four-quadrant triac manufactured by Renesas Electronics, designed for medium power applications. It features an RMS on-state current (IT(RMS)) of 8A and a maximum repetitive peak off-state voltage (VDRM) of 700V. The device supports a junction temperature (Tj) up to 150°C and offers an isolation voltage (Viso) of 2000Vrms. Gate trigger characteristics include IFGTI, IRGTI, and IRGT III at 30mA. It utilizes planar passivation technology and is supplied in an insulated TO-220FP package.

Feature Summary

• Insulated construction with planar passivation for enhanced reliability
• High thermal stability supporting junction temperatures up to 150°C
• Robust gate triggering with defined current requirements across quadrants

Applications

• White goods control circuits
• Home appliance power regulation
• General-purpose AC power control systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix #BB0 against official Renesas documentation to confirm packaging details and compliance status. Ensure the component matches the required insulation class and thermal specifications for the target application environment before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring 8A continuous current handling at 700V blocking voltage. Consider the 150°C junction temperature rating for high-thermal environments. Verify that the 30mA gate trigger current aligns with the driving circuit capabilities.

Part Context

This part belongs to the BCR series of triacs from Renesas, which are engineered for robust performance in consumer electronics. The series typically includes variants with different voltage ratings and packages, such as the BCR8FM-14LB, sharing similar core electrical characteristics but differing in physical housing.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other 8A/700V insulated triacs from Renesas or competitors. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal resistance values when considering alternatives like the BCR8FM-14LB.
