Heat Sink Calculation for BTA204

TJ T A
P = ------------------------------------------------------------------------R thJC + R thCH + R thHA
P = Power dissipated in Triac when current flows
Calculation is for 3A current.
Triac can handle 3x230 = 690W
For 3A current power dissipated is less than 4.5W
Max junction temp is 125
However 3A is available only upto 110 appx.
Maximum ambient temperature is set to 50 degrees
R thHA =

110 50 (4.5 3) (4.5 0.5)


----------------------------------------------------------4.5

= 9.8 K/W or C/W

Manufacturer part 289-AB - Wakefield


Mouser price 0.19 for 500
Thermal resistance 9 C/W
BTA24 or T25 SMD package 24A heat sink calculation
RthHA <= 110-50-(17.5x0.8)-(17.5x0.5)
-----------------------------------17.5
= 2.5
