BTA208S-600E,118

Triacs Overview

The BTA208S-600E,118 is a logic-sensitive gate TRIAC manufactured by WeEn Semiconductors. It features an 8 A RMS on-state current and a 600 V repetitive peak off-state voltage. The device supports a non-repetitive surge current of 71 A and operates within a junction temperature range of -40°C to +125°C. Packaged in a surface-mount DPAK (TO-252) housing with three pins, it utilizes a sensitive gate structure requiring a typical gate trigger current of 10 mA. This component is designed for applications requiring robust AC power control in compact form factors.

Triacs Feature Summary

• Logic-sensitive gate architecture enabling direct drive from low-power logic circuits
• High commutation capability suitable for demanding AC switching environments
• Surface-mount DPAK package optimized for automated PCB assembly processes

Triacs Applications

• Solid-state relay modules
• Industrial motor speed control systems
• General-purpose AC power switching circuits

Triacs Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix ',118' to confirm the tape-and-reel packaging configuration required for your production line. Ensure that the procurement source provides valid RoHS compliance documentation consistent with manufacturer specifications. Cross-reference the full part number against official distributor catalogs to guarantee authenticity and traceability before finalizing purchase orders.

Triacs Selection Notes

Select this component when a surface-mount TRIAC with high current handling is required. The 8 A rating suits moderate power loads, while the 600 V blocking voltage handles standard industrial AC lines. The sensitive gate characteristic simplifies driver circuit design compared to standard gate devices, reducing overall system complexity and component count.

Triacs Part Context

This device belongs to the BTA208 series of high-current TRIACs from WeEn Semiconductors. The series offers various voltage ratings and package options to accommodate different thermal and electrical requirements. The S variant specifically denotes the surface-mount DPAK configuration, distinguishing it from through-hole equivalents like the BTA208X series.

Triacs Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include the BTA208S-600BT,118 or other BTA208S-600E variants with identical pinout and electrical characteristics. Verify that substitute parts maintain the same logic-sensitive gate sensitivity and thermal performance metrics to ensure circuit compatibility.
