Product details
Overview
BCR10CM-16LH#BB0 from Renesas Electronics is a planar passivated 800 V, 10 A RMS triac designed for medium-power AC phase-control applications. It delivers 100 A non-repetitive surge current, supports 35–50 mA gate trigger current (IGT item:1), operates up to 150°C junction temperature, and is rated for motor control, heater control, and solenoid switching in industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the BCR10CM-16LH#BB0 datasheet, BCR10CM-16LH#BB0 pinout, BCR10CM-16LH#BB0 application, or BCR10CM-16LH#BB0 equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, package mapping to TO-220ABS, validated gate-trigger and commutation parameters, and real-world selection guidance for AC load switching designs requiring high dv/dt immunity and robust commutation performance.
Technical Context
This triac uses planar passivation for stable blocking characteristics and high commutation capability. Its critical rate of fall of on-state commutating current (di/dt)c is rated at 10 A/ms at Tj = 125°C with (dv/dt)c < 100 V/μs, enabling reliable turn-off under inductive loads.
It features three-quadrant gate triggering (I, II, III) with symmetric gate trigger voltage ≤1.5 V and gate non-trigger voltage as low as 0.1 V at Tj = 150°C, ensuring noise-immune triggering across operating temperature. The device exhibits repetitive peak off-state current ≤2.0 mA at Tj = 150°C and breakover voltage sensitivity characterized up to 160 V/μs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDRM | 800 V - Sustains full AC line voltage peaks in 230 VAC systems with margin for transients |
| IT(RMS) | 10 A - Supports continuous resistive/inductive loads up to ~2.3 kW at 230 VAC |
| IGT (item:1) | 35–50 mA - Low gate drive requirement compatible with microcontroller GPIO or optocoupler outputs |
| (di/dt)c | 10 A/ms - Enables reliable commutation in motor and transformer-driven inductive loads |

Pinout & Package
BCR10CM-16LH#BB0 is housed in the TO-220ABS (JEDEC SC-46) package, with the metal tab (T2) serving as both heat sink interface and electrical terminal. Pin numbering follows standard TO-220AB orientation: lead 1 = T1, lead 2 = T2 (tab), lead 3 = Gate, lead 4 = T2 (second tab connection).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (T1) | Main terminal 1 | Anode-side main current path; connects to AC line or load return in phase-control topologies |
| 2 / 4 (T2) | Main terminal 2 (tab) | Cathode-side main current path and primary thermal interface; electrically common pins 2 and 4 |
| 3 (Gate) | Control input | Triggers conduction when pulsed with ≥35 mA; referenced to T2; requires no isolation for low-side gate drive |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Planar passivation | Ensures stable VDRM and low IDRM over lifetime and temperature, eliminating surface leakage paths |
| High commutation rating | (di/dt)c = 10 A/ms enables reliable turn-off in inductive loads without snubber circuits in many cases |
| Three-quadrant triggering | Supports gate triggering in quadrants I, II, and III - simplifies driver design for bidirectional AC control |
| Low VGD at high Tj | VGD = 0.1 V @ 150°C prevents false triggering in hot environments like enclosed motor drives |
| TO-220ABS mechanical form | Standardized footprint with dual T2 leads allows direct mounting to heatsink while maintaining PCB layout compatibility |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar triac-based AC control applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STMicroelectronics BTB10-800CW | Same 10 A/800 V rating; TO-220 package; gate trigger current 35–50 mA; but rated only to 125°C junction temperature | Lacks 150°C Tj rating and 10 A/ms (di/dt)c; less suitable for high-temp, high-commutation motor drives | Select when ambient temperature stays below 85°C and inductive load energy is lower than BCR10CM-16LH#BB0's 41.6 A²s I²t rating |
| ON Semiconductor MAC10YM | Lower 8 A/600 V rating; TO-220 package; 50 mA max IGT; Rth(j-c) = 2.0 °C/W; no published (di/dt)c spec | Not suitable for 230 VAC full-line applications or 10 A continuous loads; limited thermal headroom | Consider only for cost-sensitive, low-power (<1.5 kW) heater or lamp dimming where 600 V margin suffices |
Compared with BTB10-800CW and MAC10YM, BCR10CM-16LH#BB0 offers superior thermal capability (150°C Tj), higher commutation robustness (10 A/ms), and tighter gate threshold stability at elevated temperature-making it the preferred choice for demanding industrial AC switching where reliability under thermal and dynamic stress is critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for BCR10CM-16LH#BB0?
The BCR10CM-16LH#BB0 has a maximum junction temperature (Tj) rating of +150°C, confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table on page 1 of the official Renesas datasheet R07DS0320EJ0300. This rating enables operation in thermally demanding environments such as enclosed motor drives or high-ambient industrial enclosures, provided case temperature is maintained ≤128°C per the IT(RMS) derating curve.
Does BCR10CM-16LH#BB0 support three-quadrant triggering?
Yes, BCR10CM-16LH#BB0 supports three-quadrant triggering (Quadrants I, II, and III), as explicitly specified in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 2 of the Renesas datasheet. Gate trigger voltage and current values are defined for all three quadrants, enabling simplified gate driver design without polarity reversal circuitry in bidirectional AC control applications.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to case for BCR10CM-16LH#BB0?
The junction-to-case thermal resistance (Rth(j-c)) of BCR10CM-16LH#BB0 is 1.8 °C/W, as stated in the Electrical Characteristics table on page 2 of the Renesas datasheet. This value applies under standard mounting conditions with greased interface, and is critical for calculating heatsink requirements when dissipating up to 10 A RMS conduction losses.
Is BCR10CM-16LH#BB0 pin-compatible with other TO-220 triacs?
BCR10CM-16LH#BB0 uses the TO-220ABS (SC-46) package with pinout T1–T2–G–T2, matching standard TO-220AB mechanical footprint and lead spacing. However, pin compatibility does not guarantee electrical or thermal equivalence; users must verify gate trigger levels, commutation ratings, and thermal derating against target alternatives before substitution.
What is the surge current rating of BCR10CM-16LH#BB0?
The BCR10CM-16LH#BB0 is rated for a non-repetitive surge on-state current (ITSM) of 100 A for one full 60 Hz cycle (16.7 ms), as specified in the Maximum Ratings table on page 1 of the Renesas datasheet. This rating supports handling inrush currents from motors, transformers, and cold-heating elements without device failure.
