Overview
The BT137 and BT139 are both triacs in TO-220C package.However, they differ in terms of current rating, voltage rating, and intended applications. Here’s a detailed comparison:
Mechanical Data
| Feature | BT137 | BT139 |
|---|---|---|
| Type | Triac | Triac |
| Max Repetitive Off-State Voltage (V<sub>DRM</sub>) | 600V / 800V | 600V / 800V |
| Max RMS On-State Current (I<sub>T(RMS)</sub>) | 8A | 16A |
| Surge Current (I<sub>TSM</sub>) | ~65A | ~140A |
| Gate Trigger Current (I<sub>GT</sub>) | 5–50 mA | 5–50 mA |
| Package Type | TO-220C | TO-220C / TO-220F / others |
| Typical Applications | Small appliances, light dimmers | Inductive loads, motor controls |
Current Rating
BT137:
- 8A RMS (on-state current)
- Suitable for medium-power applications like light dimmers, motor controls, and small appliances.
BT139:
- 16A RMS (on-state current)
- Designed for higher-power applications such as industrial controls, heaters, and larger motor drives.
Applications
BT137:
- Light dimmers
- Small motor controls
- Household appliances
BT139：
- Industrial AC switches
- High-power heaters
- Larger motor controllers
Summary
Both are reliable triacs, but the choice depends on your current requirements and thermal considerations.
