The BT136 is a high current Triac designed for general purpose AC switching applications. It is capable of handling load currents up to 4A and peak non-repetitive surge current of 40A. The device is suitable for use in AC switching applications such as phase control in heating applications, light dimmers, and motor speed controllers. The BT136 features a low holding current for improved noise immunity and response time. With a maximum gate trigger current of 30mA, the Triac can be easily controlled by low voltage and low current signal sources. The device is housed in a TO-220AB package for easy mounting and heat dissipation. Care should be taken in handling and mounting the BT136 to ensure proper heat sinking and electrical isolation. For more detailed information on the electrical characteristics, thermal properties, and recommended operating conditions of the BT136 Triac, refer to the BT136 datasheet provided by the manufacturer.
