Product Description

BT134 TO-126 Transistor (Triac)

= 4A Sensitive Gate Bidirectional Triac for AC Power Control =

The BT134 is a highperformance, sensitivegate triac housed in a TO126 package. It is designed for bidirectional AC switching and phase control in a wide range of lowpower applications. Its sensitive gate allows for direct control by microcontrollers and logic ICs .

Device Type: Bidirectional Triac (Triode for Alternating Current)
Package: TO-126
RMS On-State Current (IT(RMS)): 4A
Repetitive Peak Off-State Voltage (VDRM): Up to 600V (dependent on variant)
Ensure correct pin identification the standard TO126 configuration is T1, T2, Gate (G)
Do not exceed the maximum rated current and voltage to prevent permanent damage

= Package Includes =

  1. 1x BT134 Triac (TO-126 Package)
For reliable triggering, ensure the gate current meets the IGT specifications for your operating quadrant
This device is also available in SOT-82 package from some manufacturers
For direct replacements, confirm the voltage (VDRM) rating of your specific variant
The BT134's sensitive gate and 4A current rating make it a versatile choice for AC power control applications
This triac is capable of triggering in all four quadrants of operation

-Avoid exceeding the maximum junction temperature of 125°C

-Avoid using without a suitable snubber circuit for inductive loads to prevent false triggering

Avoid applying a gate voltage that exceeds the maximum gate ratings consult the datasheet
