BTA08-600CWRG

STMicroelectronics · TRIACs · TO-220AB

BTA08-600CWRG from STMicroelectronics, in a TO-220AB. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 A1 passive Main terminal A1, the reference terminal for the gate, carrying the 8 A rms on-state current (IT(RMS) 8 A, Tc = 100 °C for the insulated TO-220AB).
2 A2 passive Main terminal A2, which blocks VDRM/VRRM of 600 V for the 600 V grade. The package's insulated tab, rated 2500 VRMS, is also labelled A2 on the drawing.
3 G input Gate trigger input. For the CW version, IGT is 35 mA max in quadrants I-II-III at VD = 12 V, RL = 30 Ω, and VGT is 1.3 V max.
