About this product
The BT152 is a 13A, 600V silicon controlled rectifier (thyristor) from NXP in a TO-220 plastic package. It is suited to switching higher-current loads in power control and rectifier circuits, and a heatsink is recommended for sustained high-current operation.

Frequently asked questions
Can the BT152 be used for AC control like a triac?
Not directly. The BT152 is unidirectional, so it conducts only in one direction. For full-wave AC control, use a triac or a pair of antiparallel thyristors, or a bridge rectifier arrangement.
Does the BT152 need a heatsink?
At higher load currents the device dissipates noticeable heat, so mounting it on a heatsink is recommended. Check the thermal limits and mounting details in the NXP datasheet.
