How to use BT137 Triacs

As to the related circuit of BT137 Triacs, the following figure is shown to you.

Circuit

High areas are to be used to control the mains. A 220V lamp is contained in this moiety, which includes R1, R2, C4, and the triac BT137 TRC1. When a phone call is received, the photo BT137 Triac gate terminal portion of the optocoupler is triggered, and the lamp turns on. The light export process continues until the voltage from the mains drops below a certain level.

Frequently Asked Questions

1.How much current can the BT137 pass without a heat sink?
BT137 is a bidirectional thyristor with a rated on-state current of 8A. Without a heat sink, 8A can be passed in a short time (1 second) after triggering. Since the on-state voltage drop is 1.3V, the long-term on-state current should not exceed 1A without the heat sink, depending on the ambient temperature and natural heat dissipation. Actually, it can be determined according to the temperature rise of the test.
2.Can SCR BT137 600E replace BT136 600E?
Thyristor BT137 600E can replace BT136 600E.
3.Why does BT137 directly drive the G pole voltage, but it seems to be on all the time?
BT137 is a two-way thyristor, it will always be on as long as the current is not less than its maintenance value after it is turned on, and it has nothing to do with the voltage of the G pole. Only when the current is less than the holding value, it will be turned off, and its turn-on again after it is turned off will be controlled by the voltage of the G pole.
