BTA30-600CW3G

Triacs Overview

The BTA30-600CW3G is a 600 V, 30 A logic level triac from Littelfuse’s BTA30 series. It operates in all four quadrants with a gate trigger current of 50 mA and a gate trigger voltage of 1.7 V. The device features a maximum on-state voltage of 1.55 V and a holding current of 60 mA. It supports a non-repetitive peak on-state current of 250 A and has a leakage current of 5 uA at rated voltage. Operating temperatures range from -40 °C to +125 °C. The component is housed in an isolated TO-220AB package for through-hole mounting.

Triacs Feature Summary

• Logic level gate sensitivity enables direct drive from standard logic circuits without additional amplification.
• Four-quadrant triggering ensures reliable operation regardless of the polarity of the gate signal or main terminal voltage.
• Isolated flange mount construction facilitates efficient thermal management and secure electrical isolation.

Triacs Applications

• Solid state relays requiring high current switching capabilities
• Industrial motor control systems for AC power regulation
• Lighting dimmer circuits for commercial and industrial loads

Triacs Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer source when ordering, as this part number may be associated with multiple semiconductor suppliers. Confirm RoHS compliance status and exact datasheet revisions prior to finalizing procurement specifications to ensure compatibility with design requirements.

Triacs Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring 30 A RMS current handling with logic-level gate drive. Ensure the heat sink capacity accommodates the thermal dissipation needs at the expected operating temperature. Verify that the 600 V blocking voltage exceeds the peak line voltage plus transient spikes in the target circuit.

Triacs Part Context

This triac belongs to the BTA30 family of high-power thyristors designed for robust AC switching. It shares the same pinout and general form factor as other devices in the series but offers higher current ratings compared to lower-amperage variants like the BTA16 or BTA25.

Triacs Replacement Considerations

Equivalent parts include the STMicroelectronics BTA30-600B and WeEn Semiconductors BTA30-600BW. Verify gate trigger current and voltage parameters match the driving circuit before substitution.
