BTA216-600F,127

Triacs Overview

The BTA216-600F,127 is a planar passivated high commutation three-quadrant triac manufactured by WeEn Semiconductors. It is housed in a SOT78 (TO-220AB) plastic package and belongs to the 'Series F' design, which balances commutation performance with gate sensitivity for interfacing with low-power drivers in noisy environments. Key electrical parameters include a rated repetitive off-state voltage of 600 V, an RMS on-state current of 16 A, and a non-repetitive peak on-state current of 140 A. The device features a maximum gate trigger current of 25 mA across all quadrants, a dV/dt rating of 70 V/µs, and a maximum junction temperature of 125°C.

Triacs Feature Summary

• Planar passivated construction designed for high commutation performance in three-quadrant operation.
• Series F configuration provides reduced gate sensitivity to facilitate interfacing with microcontrollers and low-power drivers.
• Optimized for applications requiring robustness against higher noise environments.

Triacs Applications

• General purpose AC power control circuits
• Lighting dimmer applications
• Motor speed control systems

Triacs Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized channels as this part may be subject to obsolescence notices. Confirm that the specific ordering suffix matches the required package and packing format. Ensure compliance with RoHS standards and check for any recent Product Change Notifications regarding material or manufacturing site updates before finalizing procurement plans.

Triacs Selection Notes

Select this component when a standard triac with moderate gate sensitivity is required for general AC switching. The TO-220AB package facilitates through-hole mounting and heatsinking. Consider the BTA316 series for new designs as the BTA216 is designated as a non-preferred option. Evaluate thermal management requirements based on the 125°C maximum junction temperature limit.

Triacs Part Context

This component is part of the BTA216 family of high commutation triacs from WeEn Semiconductors. It shares electrical characteristics with variants like the BTA216X-600F but differs in physical packaging, utilizing the SOT78 (TO-220AB) form factor instead of the SOT186A (TO-220FP). The family is characterized by its planar passivation technology and suitability for industrial and consumer AC power applications.

Triacs Replacement Considerations

Public documentation identifies the BTA316 series as the recommended replacement for new designs. Direct substitutes such as the MAC16CM are listed by distributors, though verification of exact parameter matching is required.
