Overview
The BT137-600E/DG is a sensitive gate, four-quadrant triac designed for general purpose bidirectional switching and phase control applications. This component is part of the 'series E' triacs and is intended to be interfaced directly with microcontrollers, logic integrated circuits, and other low power gate trigger circuits. It is packaged in a TO-220AB (SOT78) plastic single-ended package with a heatsink mounted and a single mounting hole.
