BTA316-600ET/DGQ

Triacs Overview

The BTA316-600ET/DGQ is a planar passivated high commutation three quadrant triac manufactured by WeEn Semiconductors. It operates in a TO-220AB-3 through-hole package with a maximum rated junction temperature of +150°C and a minimum operating temperature of -40°C. The device supports an RMS on-state current (It RMS) of 16 A and a non-repetitive peak on-state current of 140 A. It features a rated repetitive off-state voltage (VDRM) of 600 V, an on-state voltage of 1.3 V, and a maximum holding current (Ih) of 15 mA. Gate triggering specifications include a maximum gate trigger voltage (Vgt) of 800 mV and a maximum gate trigger current (Igt) of 10 mA.

Triacs Feature Summary

• High commutation capability designed for circuits experiencing high static and dynamic dv/dt and di/dt conditions.
• Capable of commutating full RMS current at the maximum rated junction temperature without requiring a snubber circuit.
• Planar passivated construction ensures robust performance and reliability under demanding thermal and electrical stress.

Triacs Applications

• Industrial motor control systems requiring high thermal stability.
• High-power AC switching applications with significant noise immunity needs.
• Solid-state relays and contactor replacements in harsh environments.

Triacs Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'DGQ' against official WeEn Semiconductors documentation to confirm exact packaging and marking variations. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints for the TO-220AB-3 package. Confirm RoHS compliance status directly from the manufacturer's datasheet or certificate of conformity prior to finalizing procurement orders.

Triacs Selection Notes

Select this component when designs require operation up to 150°C junction temperature without snubber assistance. Compare gate sensitivity requirements against the 10 mA Igt specification to ensure driver compatibility. Evaluate thermal management solutions suitable for the TO-220AB-3 package to maintain safe operating temperatures during continuous 16 A load cycles.

Triacs Part Context

This part belongs to the BTA316 series of high commutation triacs from WeEn Semiconductors. It shares core electrical characteristics with variants like the BTA316-600BT but may differ in packaging or marking details indicated by the DGQ suffix. The series is engineered for industrial applications demanding high dv/dt immunity and reliable commutation at elevated temperatures.

Triacs Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same family include BTA316-600BT and BTA316-600C. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal resistance values before substitution. Ensure the replacement part meets the 150°C junction temperature requirement if snubberless operation is critical to the design.
