BTA216X-600B,127

Triacs Overview

The BTA216X-600B,127 is a planar passivated high commutation three quadrant triac manufactured by WeEn Semiconductors. It is housed in a TO-220FP-3 (SOT-186A) plastic package designed for through-hole mounting. The device supports an RMS current of 16 A and a non-repetitive peak on-state current of 150 A. It features a rated repetitive peak off-state voltage of 600 V with a maximum on-state voltage of 1.5 V. Gate triggering requirements include a maximum voltage of 1.5 V and current of 50 mA across all quadrants. The component operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +125°C.

Triacs Feature Summary

• High commutation capability allows full RMS current commutation at maximum junction temperature without snubber circuits.
• Planar passivated construction provides robustness against high static and dynamic dV/dt and dI/dt conditions.
• Three quadrant gate sensitivity ensures reliable triggering across Q1, Q2, and Q3 operation modes.

Triacs Applications

• Industrial motor control systems requiring high dV/dt immunity
• AC power switching applications with high transient voltage stress
• Solid state relays operating in noisy environments

Triacs Selection Notes

Select this component when high commutation performance is required without external snubbers. Ensure the TO-220FP-3 package fits the thermal and mechanical constraints. Confirm that the 600 V rating meets the circuit's peak voltage requirements. Verify that the gate drive circuit can supply the specified 50 mA trigger current for reliable turn-on.

Triacs Part Context

This part belongs to the BTA216 series of high commutation triacs from WeEn Semiconductors. It shares electrical characteristics with other variants like the BTA216-600B but utilizes the SOT-186A (TO-220FP) full pack package. The series is designed for industrial applications where robust switching under high stress is critical.

Triacs Replacement Considerations

Public documentation identifies the BTA316 series as the preferred replacement for new designs. Direct substitutes such as the BTA216-600B share similar electrical ratings but differ in package type (TO-220AB vs TO-220FP). Verify pinout compatibility and thermal resistance differences before substitution.
