BT151-650R

KY · Thyristors (SCR)/Modules · TO-220

BT151-650R from KY, in a TO-220. 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 K passive Cathode of the SCR, the main-current return terminal (pin 1 of the TO-220C).
2 A passive Anode of the SCR, the main-current terminal (pin 2), which is also connected to the tab; the datasheet gives VDRM/VRRM of 600 V for BT151 and IT(RMS) of 12 A.
3 G input Gate trigger input (pin 3) with VGT ≤1.0 V and IGT ≤20 mA at VD=12 V, IT=0.1 A.
