BT136-600D,127 Übersicht

The WeEn Semiconductors BT136-600D,127 is a planar passivated four-quadrant sensitive-gate TRIAC rated at 600 V blocking voltage (VDRM) and 4 A RMS on-state current (IT(RMS)), housed in a 3-pin TO-220AB through-hole package (SOT78 / SC-46). The "D" suffix denotes a very sensitive gate with 10 mA maximum gate trigger current (IGT) in all four quadrants, plus 1 V peak gate trigger voltage (VGT) and 5 W power dissipation, making it ideal for low-power logic-level control of AC loads.

A TRIAC (triode for alternating current) is a bidirectional thyristor that conducts in both halves of an AC waveform, effectively functioning as two SCRs wired in anti-parallel within a single die. It belongs to the thyristor family within discrete power semiconductors, used wherever AC mains must be switched or phase-controlled by a low-power control signal. TRIACs sit in the hierarchy: thyristor -> discrete semiconductor -> power device. The four-quadrant symmetric gating of the "D" series enables the same low gate drive to fire the device in Quadrants I, II, III, and IV, simplifying MCU-driven phase-control and zero-cross switching designs.

Key specifications include 600 V repetitive peak off-state voltage (VDRM), 4 A RMS on-state current (IT(RMS)), 25 A non-repetitive surge current (ITSM), 10 mA maximum gate trigger current (IGT), 1 V maximum gate trigger voltage (VGT), and 5 W power dissipation (PG(AV)). The TO-220AB package exposes a metal tab that doubles as the main terminal (MT2) and serves as a heatsink mounting interface. Planar passivated die construction yields stable blocking characteristics and long-term reliability under thermal cycling.

Typical applications include AC lamp dimmers (leading-edge phase control), fan and small motor speed regulators, solid-state relays, heater control, and general-purpose AC switching in white goods. Logic-level IGT allows direct drive from microcontroller GPIO pins, eliminating the need for a dedicated gate driver circuit.

Typische Anwendungen

BT136-600D,127 ist geeignet für 6 Anwendungs: AC Lamp Dimmer (Leading-Edge Phase Control), Fan and Small Motor Speed Controller, Solid-State Relay (SSR) Output Stage, White Goods Heater Control, General-Purpose AC Switching for Appliances, Industrial Solenoid and Contactor Driver.

💡

AC Lamp Dimmer (Leading-Edge Phase Control)

The BT136-600D,127 drives 120/230 V AC incandescent and dimmable LED loads at up to 4 A RMS with 10 mA IGT, matching low-power microcontroller GPIO or optocoupler (MOC3041) gate drive. In a typical leading-edge dimmer, the TRIAC fires after a delay set by an RC network synchronized to the AC zero-cross, and the device's 600 V VDRM provides a 2x safety margin over 230 V mains. Unlike a mechanical potentiometer-rheostat dimmer, this TRIAC dissipates only millwatts during the dimming cycle, keeping the housing cool.

🏭

Fan and Small Motor Speed Controller

The BT136-600D,127 controls shaded-pole and permanent-split-capacitor AC fan motors up to 4 A by phase-angle modulation of the mains voltage. Its 4-quadrant sensitive gate accepts low-current drive from a wall-mounted speed-control circuit, and its 27 A ITSM rating handles motor inrush during start-up. The TO-220AB tab is bolted to an aluminum heatsink to dissipate the 5 W worst-case PG(AV) at full phase delay, ensuring junction temperature stays within safe limits.

⚡

Solid-State Relay (SSR) Output Stage

The BT136-600D serves as the switch element in PCB-mount solid-state relays rated up to 4 A at 600 V. Its logic-level 10 mA IGT enables direct drive from opto-isolated logic inputs (3.3 V or 5 V), avoiding secondary-side power supplies in the SSR. The TRIAC's zero-cross or random-fire switching topology determines whether it is used for heater (zero-cross) or motor (random-fire) SSR variants.

🏭

White Goods Heater Control

Washing machines, dishwashers, and electric water heaters use the BT136-600D,127 to switch resistive heater banks up to roughly 920 W at 230 V RMS. The TRIAC's planar passivated junction handles the thermal cycling of repeated on/off heater regulation, and the 10 mA IGT keeps MCU-side design simple. Heater loads are pure resistive, so no snubber is strictly required, but a 100 nF Y-cap across MT1-MT2 improves EMI signature.

🔌

General-Purpose AC Switching for Appliances

Coffee makers, kettles, and small kitchen appliances integrate the BT136-600D,127 to provide soft-start and on/off control of mains-rated heaters. The TO-220AB package's through-hole leads support wave-soldered assembly and accept a clip-on heatsink for higher dissipation applications. The TRIAC's 600 V rating exceeds 230 V mains by 2.5x, ensuring robust blocking margin under transient surges.

🏭

Industrial Solenoid and Contactor Driver

The BT136-600D,127 controls 24-230 V AC solenoids and small contactor coils in industrial automation panels. Its four-quadrant trigger permits AC or DC coil drive, and the 10 mA IGT lets a 24 V PLC output drive the gate via a resistor. The TO-220AB tab mounts to a DIN-rail enclosure heatsink for sustained duty in control cabinets.

What is the BT136-600D,127?
The BT136-600D,127 is a WeEn Semiconductors four-quadrant sensitive-gate TRIAC in a TO-220AB package. According to the manufacturer product data sheet, it is rated 600 V VDRM, 4 A IT(RMS), 10 mA IGT, 1 V VGT, and 5 W average dissipation. It is intended for general-purpose bidirectional AC switching and phase control where very-sensitive-gate logic-level drive is required.
What is the gate trigger current of the BT136-600D?
The BT136-600D has a maximum gate trigger current of 10 mA in all four operating quadrants. Because of the very-sensitive-gate "D" rating, the part can be driven directly from microcontroller GPIO or logic-level optocoupler outputs without an external gate driver stage.
What is the difference between BT136-600D and BT136-600E?
The "D" suffix denotes a very-sensitive-gate variant with 10 mA maximum IGT, while the "E" suffix denotes a less-sensitive-gate variant with 25 mA maximum IGT. Both share the same 600 V VDRM, 4 A IT(RMS), and TO-220AB package, making them pin-to-pin compatible. Choose D for direct MCU drive; choose E for higher noise-immunity in industrial environments.
How much voltage and current can the BT136-600D switch?
The BT136-600D can block up to 600 V repetitive peak off-state and conduct 4 A RMS continuous. It can also survive non-repetitive surges up to 27 A. This makes it suitable for 120/230 V AC mains loads up to roughly 500 W, including lamp dimmers, fan regulators, and small heater controls.
Where can I download the BT136-600D,127 datasheet PDF?
The BT136-600D,127 datasheet PDF is available on the WeEn Semiconductors product page and is mirrored on DigiKey (digikey.in product page 1154763) and Mouser. The document includes the SOT78 (TO-220AB) mechanical drawing, electrical characteristics curves, thermal resistance data, and four-quadrant gate-trigger characteristics tables.
Where to buy BT136-600D,127 online?
As of 2026-10-15, the BT136-600D,127 is in stock at LCSC starting at $0.3138 and is offered by 8 distributors indexed on Octopart. The part is also available at DigiKey and Mouser as a rail-pack TRIAC under WeEn Semiconductors branding.
What is the lead time for BT136-600D,127?
Lead time for the BT136-600D,127 is generally short because the part is actively stocked at LCSC, DigiKey, and Mouser as of 2026-10-15. For volume production, distributor lead times of 4-8 weeks are typical; contacting WeEn Semiconductors authorized distributors for quotes is recommended for >10k-piece orders.
Is the BT136-600D a drop-in replacement for the BT137-600E?
No - the BT137-600E is rated 8 A IT(RMS) versus 4 A for the BT136-600D. The two share the same TO-220AB package and pinout, so physically they can be swapped, but the BT136-600D has less current headroom and should only be used as a substitute in loads drawing under 4 A continuous.
Can a microcontroller drive the BT136-600D gate directly?
Yes, the BT136-600D is designed as a logic-level TRIAC with 10 mA max IGT and 1 V max VGT, well within the sink capability of most 3.3 V and 5 V microcontroller GPIO pins. A 100-220 ohm gate series resistor is recommended to limit inrush and improve dV/dt immunity.
What is the pinout of the BT136-600D in TO-220AB?
The BT136-600D in TO-220AB follows the standard SOT78 pinout: pin 1 = Main Terminal 1 (MT1), pin 2 = Main Terminal 2 (MT2), pin 3 = Gate (G), with the metal tab electrically tied to MT2. This is the same configuration as the original Philips BT136 series and most equivalent TRIACs from STMicroelectronics and Littelfuse.
BT136-600D vs BT136-600E - which is better for AC dimming?
For household AC lamp dimming, the BT136-600D is the better choice because its 10 mA IGT allows direct drive from logic-level opto-triac couplers (such as the MOC3041) without a buffer stage, while the BT136-600E's 25 mA IGT requires more gate drive and may misfire in noisy EMI environments.
When should I choose the BT136-600D over a solid-state relay?
Choose the BT136-600D when you need zero-cross or phase-angle control of AC loads at a per-switch cost below $0.50, when PCB integration is preferable to a chassis-mounted SSR, and when the load is under 4 A continuous. Choose a solid-state relay instead when you need galvanic isolation, built-in thermal management, or load currents above 4 A.
What is the best STMicroelectronics equivalent for the BT136-600D?
The best STMicroelectronics equivalent for the BT136-600D is the T405-600B from the T4 series, which provides a 4 A 600 V TRIAC in the same TO-220AB package and is pin-to-pin compatible. It is listed in the cross-reference guides as a functional drop-in replacement for the BT136-600D series.
Does the BT136-600D need a snubber network?
Yes, an RC snubber (typically 100 ohm + 100 nF) across MT1-MT2 is recommended for inductive loads such as motors and transformers to limit dV/dt. Without a snubber, commutation spikes can re-trigger the device and cause false switching. The snubber values vary with load inductance and should be verified during design validation.
Is the BT136-600D,127 RoHS compliant?
Yes, the BT136-600D,127 from WeEn Semiconductors is RoHS compliant. The TO-220AB package is lead-free (Pb-free) matte-tin plated, and the part uses a planar passivated silicon die that complies with current RoHS and REACH substance restrictions for new designs.

Wichtigste Unterscheidungsmerkmale

  • Very-sensitive-gate 10 mA IGT in all four quadrants (vs. BT136-600E,127)
  • Lower IGT than STMicroelectronics T-series alternatives (vs. T405-600B (STMicroelectronics))
  • Higher VDRM than Littelfuse L4 series equivalents (vs. L4004L5 (Littelfuse))

Designhinweise

Estimated: at 4 A IT(RMS) and full 5 W PG(AV) dissipation, the TO-220AB junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of approximately 62.5 C/W yields a 312 C junction-temperature rise above ambient, which is excessive. A clip-on or bolt-on heatsink with thermal resistance below 10 C/W is required for continuous 4 A operation; without a heatsink, derate to roughly 1.5 A continuous on free air.

Place the RC snubber (100 ohm + 100 nF) within 5 mm of MT1-MT2 terminals. Keep the gate-series resistor (100-220 ohm) close to pin 3 to limit high-frequency ringing on the gate drive path. Minimize the gate-cathode loop area to improve dV/dt immunity in noisy AC-line environments such as motor control cabinets.

Do not use the BT136-600D on DC-only loads - a TRIAC cannot commutate off without an AC zero-cross, so once latched in DC operation it will stay on. For DC switching use an SCR or MOSFET. Also avoid exceeding ITSM (27 A) during transformer inrush; pre-charge capacitor banks to limit repetitive peak surge current.
