Product details

8 A standard triac in TO-220F — what it switches

The WeEn BTA208X-600B,127 is a standard single triac rated for 600 V off-state and 8 A RMS on-state continuous current. It comes in the TO-220-3 Full Pack (isolated tab) package, through-hole mount, with a maximum junction temperature of 125°C. The 50 mA gate trigger current and 1.5 V gate trigger voltage mean a small-signal transistor or optocoupler can drive it directly, though a series resistor is needed to limit gate current. The 60 mA holding current ensures the device latches on once triggered, so a minimum load current above that level is required to keep it conducting through the AC zero-cross.

Surge and load considerations

Non-repetitive surge current is rated at 65 A for 50 Hz and 71 A for 60 Hz (one cycle). That surge capability covers inrush from motor starts, capacitive loads, or incandescent lamp filaments.

Frequently asked questions

What is the gate trigger current (Igt) for BTA208X-600B,127?

The maximum gate trigger current is 50 mA, with a maximum gate trigger voltage of 1.5 V.

What is the pinout of BTA208X-600B,127?

The TO-220-3 Full Pack (TO-220F) pinout is standard for a triac: pin 1 is Main Terminal 1 (MT1), pin 2 is Main Terminal 2 (MT2), and pin 3 is the gate (G). The metal tab is electrically isolated.

Can BTA208X-600B be used for AC motor control?

Yes, for small single-phase AC motors within the 8 A RMS and 600 V ratings. For inductive loads, a snubber circuit across the triac is recommended to manage dV/dt turn-on.

What is the difference between BTA208X and BTB208X series?

The BTA208X series uses the TO-220F fully isolated tab package, while the BTB208X typically uses a non-isolated TO-220 package. The isolated tab simplifies heatsinking without an insulating pad.

Where can I buy BTA208X-600B,127 available via RFQ confirmation?
