BTA06-600CRG

Triacs Overview

The BTA06-600CRG is a standard 4-quadrant Triac from the BTA06 series manufactured by STMicroelectronics. It features an RMS on-state current (IT(RMS)) of 6A and offers rated repetitive peak off-state voltages (VDRM/VRRM) of 600V or 800V. The device utilizes a TO-220AB package with a maximum junction temperature range of -40°C to +125°C. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum gate trigger current (IGT) of 50mA, a maximum holding current (IH) of 50mA, and a critical rate of rise of on-state current (dI/dt)c of 50 A/µs at Tj = 125°C. The component is supplied in tubes with a base quantity of 50 units.

Triacs Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm the exact voltage rating and sensitivity class. Confirm that the delivery mode matches the required tube packaging specifications. Ensure the component meets the necessary environmental compliance standards for the intended deployment environment.

Triacs Selection Notes

Select this component based on the required RMS current handling and voltage blocking capabilities. Consider the thermal resistance values when designing heat dissipation strategies for the TO-220AB package. Evaluate the gate trigger current requirements to ensure compatibility with the driving circuitry for reliable switching performance.

Triacs Part Context

This part belongs to the BTA06 and BTB06 Triac series designed for mains power AC switching. The BTA variant specifically includes an insulated tab, distinguishing it from the non-insulated BTB version within the same current and voltage ratings. The series supports both through-hole and surface-mount configurations across various sensitivity levels.

Triacs Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements within the same family include BTA06-600BW, BTA06-600C, BTA06-600CW, BTA06-600SW, and BTA06-600TW. These variants share the 6A current rating but differ in gate sensitivity and snubberless capabilities.
