Component ID
Need help in ID'ing a component. Physically it looks like a SCR or
VR. It's leads are labeled G, MT2, MT1. Best guess at a mfg # is BT134-500E. Can anyone help? Tiger |

Tiger That would be a "Triac". A triac is essentially an SCR in anti-parallel, with a common gate. G = gate MT1 = Main terminal 1 MT2 = Main terminal 2 |

G = gate MT1 = Main terminal 1 MT2 = Main terminal 2 I meant to say, A triac is essentially two SCR's in anti-parallel, with a common gate. I could not find that part#, but with many applications a replacement can be made with one that meets or exceeds the maximum voltage & current rating that is to be switched! |
