BT136X-600E,127

Overview

The BT136X-600E,127 is a planar passivated sensitive gate four-quadrant triac manufactured by WeEn Semiconductors. It operates with an RMS on-state current of 4 A and supports a non-repetitive peak on-state current of 27 A. The device features a rated repetitive off-state voltage (VDRM) of 600 V and a maximum holding current of 15 mA. Gate triggering requires a maximum voltage of 700 mV and a maximum current of 11 mA. It exhibits an on-state voltage of 1.4 V and a leakage current of 100 uA at VDRM. The component is housed in a TO-220F-3 package for through-hole mounting and functions within a temperature range of -40 °C to +125 °C.

Feature Summary

• Sensitive gate design enables direct interfacing with microcontrollers, logic integrated circuits, and low-power trigger circuits without additional driver components.
• Four-quadrant triggering capability ensures reliable operation across all combinations of main terminal and gate polarities.
• Planar passivation provides enhanced voltage ruggedness and long-term reliability under high-stress conditions.

Applications

• General purpose bidirectional switching
• Phase control applications
• General purpose motor control

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix

Selection Notes

Select this component when a sensitive gate triac is required for direct logic interface in general-purpose AC switching or phase control circuits. Ensure the application demands a 600 V blocking capability and 4 A RMS current handling. The TO-220F-3 package is suitable for through-hole assembly where thermal isolation from the mounting base is necessary due to its isolated construction.

Part Context

This part belongs to the BT136 series of four-quadrant triacs produced by WeEn Semiconductors. The 'X' designation indicates the use of the SOT186A (TO-220F) plastic package, which provides electrical isolation between the mounting base and the internal die. The ',127' suffix specifies the reel packaging format containing 1000 units per factory pack.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other manufacturers' BT136-600E equivalents or NXP BT136X-600E variants. Verify that substitute parts maintain the same sensitive gate characteristics, 600 V rating, and TO-220F-3 footprint to ensure compatibility with existing PCB layouts and drive circuits.
