BT136-600E Logic Level Triac – 600V 4A

The BT136-600E Logic Level Triac is a high-performance semiconductor device designed for efficient AC load control in low-voltage digital systems. Ideal for microcontroller-driven applications, this Triac simplifies AC switching by operating directly with logic-level signals (3-5V), eliminating the need for additional driver circuits. With a robust 600V voltage rating and 4A RMS current handling, it is perfect for dimmers, motor controls, lighting systems, and smart home automation. Its low gate trigger current (as low as 5mA) ensures compatibility with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and other microcontrollers, making it a go-to solution for DIY enthusiasts and industrial designers alike.
