The BT137-600G is a high-performance, sensitive gate triac designed and manufactured by NXP Semiconductors. This semiconductor device is well-suited for use in general purpose AC switching where high surge current capability is required. Applications include, but are not limited to, motor control, industrial and domestic lighting, heating, and static switching.

Key Features

• High Surge Current Capability: The BT137-600G is capable of handling surge currents, making it ideal for applications that experience short-term overloads.
• Sensitive Gate: Its sensitive gate allows the triac to be triggered with low power gate drivers, including microcontrollers, which makes it suitable for a wide range of triggering methods.
• Blocking Voltage: With a maximum repetitive peak off-state/blocking voltage (Vdrm/Vrrm) of 600V, it can be used effectively in circuits with high voltage requirements.
• On-State Current: It has a maximum on-state current (IT(RMS)) of 8A, which allows it to drive moderate to high power loads.
• Gate Trigger Voltage: A gate trigger voltage (Vgt) of 1.5V ensures low power consumption during the triggering phase.
• Planar Passivated: The planar passivated chip provides enhanced reliability and robustness against over-voltage conditions.

Typical Applications

• Motor control circuits
• Domestic and industrial lighting dimmers
• Heating systems
• Static switching relays
