BTA204S-600E,118

Triacs Overview

The BTA204S-600E,118 is a planar passivated high commutation three-quadrant triac manufactured by WeEn Semiconductors. It is housed in a SOT428 (DPAK) surface-mountable plastic package designed for industrial applications. The device features a rated repetitive off-state voltage of 600 V and an RMS on-state current of 4 A. It supports a non-repetitive peak on-state current of 25 A. Key electrical parameters include a maximum holding current of 12 mA and a gate trigger current of 10 mA across quadrants Q1, Q2, and Q3. The component operates with a maximum junction temperature of +125 °C and exhibits a dV/dt rating of 30 V/µs.

Triacs Selection Notes

Select this component when a surface-mount triac with 600 V blocking capability and 4 A continuous current is required. Ensure the design accommodates the DPAK thermal characteristics and the 125 °C maximum junction temperature limit. Confirm that the gate drive circuit can supply the specified 10 mA trigger current across all operating quadrants.

Triacs Part Context

This part belongs to the BTA204 series of triacs from WeEn Semiconductors. The 'E' designation indicates the Series E variant, which balances commutation performance and gate sensitivity. It shares the same physical DPAK footprint as other variants like the 600D and 800E but differs in internal electrical specifications and gate threshold characteristics.

Triacs Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements within the same package may include other Series E or D triacs from the BTA204 family, such as the BTA204S-600D,118 or BTA204S-800E,118, provided their gate and voltage ratings meet the circuit requirements.
