Technical Specifications:

The BCR5AS-12A-T13#B00 has a repetitive peak off-state voltage (VDRM) of 600V and an on-state RMS current (IT(RMS)) of 5A. The surge on-state current (ITSM) is rated at 50A. The gate trigger current (IGT) is typically 5mA. It comes in a TO-92 package. The operating temperature range is specified as -40°C to +125°C. The holding current (IH) is approximately 5mA, ensuring stable operation.

This Triac is widely used in consumer electronics, home appliances, and industrial control systems to regulate AC power. Its high blocking voltage allows for safe operation with AC line voltages, while its low on-state voltage minimizes power dissipation. The sensitive gate triggering simplifies the design of control circuits, and the high surge current capability enhances reliability in environments with frequent voltage transients.
