The NXP BT136-600 is a phase control thyristor (SCR) with a gate trigger current of 3 mA, a peak repetitive current of 600 A, and a maximum on-state voltage of 1.5 V. It is designed to control AC loads such as motors, transformers, and incandescent lamps. The BT136-600 features a built-in freewheeling diode for snubber-free operation, a capacitive gate for triggering, and a reverse-blocking capability for safety and protection. This SCR is suitable for applications such as motor speed control, power supplies, and resistive heating circuits.
