BT136 TRIAC TO-220 for AC Load Control & Power Switching
Transistors
The BT136 TRIAC is a high-performance bidirectional thyristor designed for controlling AC power in a wide range of electrical and electronic applications. Housed in a TO-220 package, it is commonly used for switching and dimming AC loads such as lamps, fans, heaters, and small motors. The BT136 can be triggered using a low-current gate signal, making it suitable for interfacing with microcontrollers through optocouplers like the MOC3021 or MOC3041. It is widely used in light dimmers, fan speed controllers, solid-state relays, AC motor control circuits, home automation, and industrial control systems. Key Features: BT136 bidirectional TRIAC Standard TO-220 package Suitable for AC load switching and control Low gate trigger current Reliable and stable performance Ideal for phase angle control and zero-cross switching applications Compatible with optocouplers such as MOC3021 and MOC3041 Suitable for light dimmers, fan regulators, AC motor control, heaters, home automation, and DIY electronics projects The BT136 TRIAC is an essential power semiconductor for students, hobbyists, and professional engineers, providing an efficient and dependable solution for controlling AC-powered devices in automation and power electronics applications.₹15
