The BCR16PM-14LG is a triac manufactured by Renesas Electronics America. This triac is designed for AC power control applications, allowing for efficient switching and regulation of AC loads. It is commonly used in applications such as lighting control, motor speed control, and temperature control systems. Due to it being end-of-life, it should be replaced in new designs.

Applications

• Lighting control (dimmers)
• Motor speed control
• Temperature control
• Solid-state relays
• AC power switching

Features

• High blocking voltage
• Low gate trigger current
• High surge current capability
• Insulated package
• High reliability

Benefits

• Enables precise control of AC power.
• Easy to trigger with low gate current.
• Withstands transient voltage spikes.
• Provides electrical isolation for safety.
• Ensures long operational life.

Technical Specifications

Repetitive Peak Off-State Voltage: 700V

RMS On-State Current: 16A

Gate Trigger Current: (Typically) 15mA

Surge Current: 150A

Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to +125°C

The BCR16PM-14LG is packaged in an insulated TO-220 package. It's essential to use appropriate heat sinking to manage heat dissipation during high-current operation. Ensure that the gate trigger current is within the specified limits for reliable operation. This part is end of life.
