Triac Mains Relay Board

APPLY ALL CAUTION WHEN BUILDING AND USING -

MAINS VOLTAGE CAN BE LETHAL
Specification
Output Triac 600V and 40A
Input 3 - 5mA at 1.5V
Isolation >2500V

Triac - BTA41-600B - 600V and 40A

IGT 50 - 100mA at 1.3V
This triac has an isolated tab and so can be directly mounted to a heat sink.
Power dissipation at 13A is around 12W - reasonable size heat sink required.
