Triacs
BT137 series
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Passivated triacs in a plastic envelope,
intended for use in applications requiring
high bidirectional transient and blocking
voltage capability and high thermal
cycling
performance.
Typical
applications include motor control,
industrial and domestic lighting, heating
and static switching.

Although not recommended, off-state voltages up to 800V may be applied without damage, but the triac may
switch to the on-state. The rate of rise of current should not exceed 6 A/µs.
