BT136 Triac sensitive gate four quadrant triac

Description

BT136 Triac sensitive gate is a TRIAC with 4A maximum terminal current. The gate threshold voltage of the BT136 is also very less so can be driven by digital circuits. Intended for use in general purpose bidirectional switching and phase control applications. This sensitive gate “series E” triac is intended to be interfaced directly to microcontrollers, logic integrated circuits and other low power gate trigger circuits. Since TRIACs are bi-directional switching devices they are commonly used for switching AC applications.

Features of BT136 Triac sensitive gate includes;

• It has a Maximum Terminal current of 4A
• Has an On-state Gate voltage of 1.4V
• Also has a Gate trigger current of 10mA
• In addition to that, its Max Terminal Voltage is 600 V
• It also has a Holding current of  2.2mA
• Moreover, has a Latching current of  4mA
• Available in To-220 Package

Applications of BT136

• Used for General purpose motor control
• Also in General purpose switching
• Used in AC Light dimmers
• In addition to that, used in Strode lights
• To add on that, in AC motor speed control
• Moreover, used in Noise coupling circuits
• Last but not least, used in Controlling AC loads using MCU/MPU
• Lastly, used in Ac/DC Power control
