BT136 Triac
The BT136 is TRIAC (Triode for AC) with 4A maximum terminal current. The gate threshold voltage of the BT136 is also very less so can be driven by digital circuits. Since TRIACs are bi-directional switching devices they are commonly used for switching AC applications. So if you looking to switch of control (dim, speed control) an AC load which consumes less than 6A with a digital device like microcontroller or microprocessor then BT136 might be the right for you.It finds applications in switching, phase control, chopper designs, brilliance control in lamps, speed control in fans, motors etc. The power control system is designed to control the distribution level of AC or DC. Such power control systems can be used to switch power to appliances manually or when temperature or light levels go beyond a preset level.
