BT136S-600,118

Overview

The BT136S-600,118 is a standard triac manufactured by WeEn Semiconductors, designed for surface-mount applications in the DPAK (TO-252-3) package. It features a rated repetitive off-state voltage of 600 V and an on-state RMS current capacity of 4 A. The device supports a non-repetitive peak on-state current of 27 A with a maximum on-state voltage of 1.4 V. Gate triggering requirements include a maximum gate trigger voltage of 700 mV and a maximum gate trigger current of 30 mA. The holding current is specified at a maximum of 15 mA, while the off-state leakage current remains at 100 uA under rated voltage conditions. Operating temperatures range from -40 C to +125 C.

Feature Summary

• Surface-mount construction utilizing the DPAK (TO-252-3) package for automated assembly compatibility.
• Bidirectional switching capability with a 600 V blocking voltage rating suitable for AC control circuits.
• Standard gate sensitivity characterized by low trigger voltage and current thresholds.

Applications

• Lighting dimmers and phase control systems
• Solid-state relays for AC load switching
• Motor speed control circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '118' against official WeEn Semiconductors documentation to confirm tape and reel specifications. Ensure that the ordering part number matches the required packaging format, as suffixes may indicate variations in reel dimensions or quantity per reel rather than electrical performance changes.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 4 A RMS current rating and 600 V blocking voltage are required in a surface-mount form factor. Compare the 15 mA holding current and 30 mA gate trigger current against circuit drive capabilities to ensure reliable turn-on and latching. Verify thermal management requirements for the DPAK package within the specified operating temperature range.

Part Context

This part belongs to the BT136 series of triacs produced by WeEn Semiconductors. The series offers various voltage ratings and packages, with the BT136S variant specifically designated for surface-mount technology. The '600' indicates the voltage class, while 'S' denotes the specific package type within the product family.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct cross-reference part numbers from other manufacturers offering identical 4 A, 600 V specifications in the TO-252-3 package. Confirm pinout compatibility and thermal characteristics before substituting with equivalent components from other suppliers.
