BTA212B-600B,118

Triacs Overview

The BTA212B-600B,118 is a planar passivated high commutation three quadrant triac manufactured by WeEn Semiconductors. It is housed in a SOT404 (D2PAK) surface mountable plastic package. The device features a rated repetitive off-state voltage of 600 V and an on-state RMS current of 12 A. Key electrical parameters include a non-repetitive peak on-state current of 95 A, a maximum holding current of 60 mA, and a gate trigger voltage of 1.5 V. It operates within a junction temperature range of -40°C to +125°C.

Triacs Feature Summary

• Planar passivated construction for robust performance in high dV/dt and dI/dt environments
• Three quadrant operation with high commutation capability
• Sensitive gate design optimized for interfacing with low power drivers

Triacs Applications

• High frequency AC motor speed control

• Lighting dimmers

Triacs Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official manufacturer documentation to confirm package type and packing configuration. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints for the D2PAK form factor. Confirm industrial qualification status and RoHS compliance requirements prior to final procurement decisions.

Triacs Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring surface mount integration with high thermal dissipation capabilities. Compare gate sensitivity requirements against available driver circuitry. Evaluate thermal management solutions to maintain junction temperatures within the specified operational limits during continuous conduction.

Triacs Part Context

This part belongs to the BTA212 series of triacs from WeEn Semiconductors. It serves as a surface mount alternative to through-hole variants like the BTA212-600B. The series is characterized by high commutation performance suitable for demanding industrial applications.

Triacs Replacement Considerations

Official documentation identifies the BTA312 series as the preferred replacement for new designs. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal characteristics when substituting other manufacturers' TO-263 packages.
