BCR12CM-8 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The Powerex Inc. BCR12CM-8 is a solid-state silicon AC switch designed to be gate-triggered from an off-state to an on-state for either polarity of applied voltage. It features glass passivation and is selected for inductive loads.

 

Key electrical specifications include a repetitive peak off-state voltage rating of up to 600V (VDRM) and an on-state current of 12A (IT(RMS)) at 98°C. The non-repetitive peak surge current (ITSM) is 120A at 60 Hz. Gate parameters include a peak gate power dissipation (PGM) of 5W and an average gate power dissipation (PG(avg)) of 0.5W.

 

This Triac is housed in a TO-220 package, suitable for various mounting configurations. Its operating temperature range is -40°C to 125°C, with a storage temperature range of -40°C to 125°C. The thermal resistance from junction to case (Rth(j-c)) is 1.8°C/W.

 

Applications for the BCR12CM-8 include AC switches, heating controls, motor controls, lighting systems, solid-state relays, and switch-mode power supplies.
