The BT131 is a TRIAC with 1A maximum terminal current and a highly sensitive gate, making it suitable for switching AC applications. It can be easily driven by digital circuits and is ideal for controlling AC loads consuming less than 3A with devices like microcontrollers or microprocessors.
Pin Configuration:
- Main Terminal 1 (Pin 1): Connected to Phase or neutral of AC mains
- Main Terminal 2 (Pin 2): Connected to Phase or neutral of AC mains
- Gate (Pin 3): Used to trigger the SCR
Limitation:
Commutation is not required in AC switching circuits as the TRIAC will not latch in the state when the AC voltage reaches zero for every half cycle.
Applications:
- AC Light dimmers
- Strobe lights
- AC motor speed control
- Noise coupling circuits
- Controlling AC loads using MCU/MPU
- AC/DC Power control
- Light dimmers
- Washing machines
- Motor control
- Hand tools
