BT136 600E TRIAC : Pin Configuration & Its Applications

A TRIAC is a three-terminal electronic component that conducts current in both directions when triggered.

Description

1. Main Terminal Connected to Phase or neutral of AC mains
2. Main Terminal Connected to Phase or neutral of AC mains
3. Gate Used to trigger the SCR.

Features of BT136 600E TRIAC

All TRIAC circuits suffer from an effect called Rate Effect, which occurs when the TRIAC is switching frequently and a sudden high voltage occurs at either main terminal of the TRIAC.
Another effect called the backlash effect, occurs due to the capacitance that gets accumulated between the two terminals of the MT1 and MT2 of the TRIAC.
Sometimes backward current flows when the TRIAC is switching inductive loads, so an alternate discharge path has to be provided for the load to drain the inrush.
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
