BTA316B-600E,118

Triacs Overview

The BTA316B-600E,118 is a planar passivated high commutation three quadrant triac manufactured by WeEn Semiconductors. It is housed in a TO263 plastic package and designed for circuits requiring robust performance under high static and dynamic dV/dt conditions. The device features a rated repetitive off-state voltage (VDRM) of 600 V and an on-state RMS current (IT(RMS)) of 16 A. Its non-repetitive peak on-state current (ITSM) is specified at 140 A. The maximum gate trigger current (IGT) across quadrants Q1, Q2, and Q3 is 10 mA. The component supports a maximum junction temperature (Tj) of 125 °C.

Triacs Feature Summary

• Planar passivated construction ensures high commutation capability and reliability.
• Three quadrant operation with sensitive gate design facilitates interfacing with low power drivers.
• Optimized balance between commutation performance and gate sensitivity for microcontroller applications.

Triacs Applications

• High frequency switching circuits
• Industrial motor control systems
• Lighting dimmer applications

Triacs Procurement Notes

Verify the complete ordering suffix, specifically the ,118 designation, to confirm the specific reel packing configuration and RoHS compliance status. Ensure the procurement documentation matches the exact part number to avoid discrepancies in package type or chemical content declarations during quality audits.

Triacs Selection Notes

Select this component when a surface-mount TO263 package is required for high commutation triacs. The 125 °C maximum junction temperature rating distinguishes it from higher temperature variants like the BT series. Verify that the 10 mA gate trigger current aligns with the driving circuit's output capabilities for reliable turn-on.

Triacs Part Context

This part belongs to the BTA316B series of three quadrant triacs. It shares core electrical ratings with through-hole equivalents but utilizes a surface-mountable TO263 package. The 'E' suffix indicates the sensitive gate variant optimized for low-power driver interfaces, differentiating it from standard gate versions within the same voltage and current class.

Triacs Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements include other BTA316B-600E variants in the TO263 package. Cross-reference with NXP Semiconductors equivalents if supply chain diversification is required, ensuring identical VDRM, IT(RMS), and package dimensions are maintained.
