BT136-600E Triac 600V 4A Through Hole TO-220

BT136-600E 600V 4A Sensitive Gate Triac in TO-220 Package The BT136-600E is a bidirectional triac switch designed for AC power control. It functions like two SCRs back-to-back, allowing current to flow in both directions once a gate pulse is applied. Structurally, it has three terminals (MT1, MT2 and Gate) and comes in a TO-220 through-hole package, which provides heat dissipation for high-voltage switching. Its sensitive gate means it can be driven by low-current logic signals, so a small trigger current turns it on. Once triggered, the triac latches on and conducts AC until the current falls below its holding level. The BT136-600E is planar passivated for high-voltage ruggedness and exhibits a low holding current, making it stable under light-load conditions. In context, this device is used wherever robust AC switching or phase control is needed (e.g. motor speed or light dimming), providing a compact solution for controlling AC loads with digital or analog driving circuits. Features: Direct triggering from low power drivers and logic ICs. High blocking voltage capability. Low holding current for low current loads and lowest EMI at commutation. Planar passivated for voltage ruggedness and reliability. Sensitive gate. Triggering in all four quadrants.
