The NXP BT168GW,115 is a high-reliability, sensitive-gate thyristor in a compact SOT-223 surface-mount plastic package with an enhanced heatsink, engineered for precision logic-level triggering in residual current devices (RCDs), ground-fault interrupters (GFIs), and leakage-current circuit breakers (LCCBs).
Crucial Features and Benefits Include
- High Voltage Tolerance: Up to 600 V repetitive off‑state rating (VDRM/VRRM), withstanding harsh environments. Although not rated, operation up to 800 V is possible under specific conditions.
- Robust Current Handling: Supports up to 0.63 A average, 1 A RMS, and 8 A (single‑pulse) surges, compatible with most breaker applications.
- Compact and Thermally Efficient: The SOT-223 form factor with enhanced heat sinking ensures efficient thermal dissipation and a compact PCB layout.
- Low Leakage & Forward Drop: Minimal off-state leakage (~0.1 mA) and low forward voltage (~1.7 V) contribute to improved energy efficiency and minimized thermal stress.
- Gate Safety Margin: Withstands up to 5 V reverse gate voltage, enhancing robustness against transient conditions.
