BTA308X-800C0/L02Q

Triacs Overview

The BTA308X-800C0/L02Q is a bidirectional triac manufactured by WeEn Semiconductors, designed for general-purpose switching and phase control applications. It features an RMS on-state current of 8 A and a repetitive peak off-state voltage rating of 800 V. The device supports a non-repetitive peak on-state current of 60 A and maintains an on-state voltage of 1.3 V. Key gate characteristics include a maximum holding current of 50 mA, a gate trigger voltage of 700 mV, and a gate trigger current of 35 mA. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +150°C and utilizes a TO-220F-3 through-hole package.

Triacs Feature Summary

• Sensitive gate architecture enabling direct interfacing with low-power drivers and logic ICs
• Four-quadrant triggering capability for reliable operation in all gate and main terminal polarities
• Planar passivated construction providing enhanced voltage ruggedness and long-term reliability

Triacs Applications

• General purpose motor control systems
• Bidirectional switching circuits
• Phase control applications

Triacs Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix L02Q against official manufacturer documentation to confirm pinout configuration and packaging details. Ensure compatibility with existing thermal management designs given the TO-220F-3 form factor. Cross-reference datasheet parameters such as gate trigger current and holding current to validate suitability for the intended driver circuitry before finalizing procurement.

Triacs Selection Notes

Select this component when an 8 A RMS current capacity and 800 V blocking voltage are required for AC load control. The sensitive gate design makes it suitable for microcontroller or logic-level interfaces without additional amplification. Consider the TO-220F-3 package for through-hole mounting requirements and verify that the 50 mA holding current meets the minimum load specifications of the application.

Triacs Part Context

This part belongs to the BTA308X series of four-quadrant triacs from WeEn Semiconductors. The series is characterized by planar passivation technology and sensitive gate structures optimized for robust performance in industrial and consumer electronics. These devices are engineered to replace older generation thyristors while offering improved integration with modern low-power digital control logic.

Triacs Replacement Considerations

The BT136X-600E is a comparable four-quadrant triac in the same TO-220F package family. However, the BT136X-600E has a lower 600 V voltage rating and 4 A current capacity. Verify if the reduced ratings meet the application requirements before substituting.
