BTA204S-600F,118

Triacs Overview

The BTA204S-600F,118 is a planar passivated high commutation three-quadrant triac manufactured by WeEn Semiconductors. It is housed in a SOT428 (DPAK/TO-252) surface-mountable plastic package. 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 gate trigger current of 25 mA across quadrants Q1, Q2, and Q3, and a critical rate of rise of off-state voltage (dV/dt) rating of 50 V/µs. The component operates within a junction temperature range up to +125°C.

Triacs Selection Notes

Select this component when high commutation performance is required alongside sensitivity to low-power logic drivers. The TO-252 package suits surface-mount designs needing robust thermal handling. Compare against Series D and E variants if different dV/dt ratings or gate sensitivities are needed for specific circuit noise immunity requirements.

Triacs Part Context

This part belongs to the BTA204S series of planar passivated triacs from WeEn Semiconductors. The 'Series F' designation specifically denotes high commutation characteristics. It shares the same physical DPAK footprint as other BTA204S variants but differs in internal semiconductor processing to optimize switching speed and noise immunity compared to standard logic-level triacs.

Triacs Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements within the same family include BTA204S-600D and BTA204S-600E. Note that these alternatives offer different dV/dt ratings (20 V/µs and 30 V/µs respectively) and gate trigger currents, which may affect performance in high-noise environments.
