Is this triac circuit suitable for driving loads up to 20A?

To control the warm, I decided to use a triac.
I got this circuit
6b6fd2f26bd546b6bbae65b9a68c74b7.gif
. There are 2 important components in the circuit.

  1. Triac BT139
  2. Optothyristor MOC3041

Unfortunately, my knowledge is not enough to determine whether this scheme is suitable for the requirements
  • Control with 5V
  • Permissible load up to 20A

Perhaps something should be changed in the scheme? Is it worth it to make and use such a device on your own, without experience?

This is a typical MOC wiring diagram, nothing needs to be changed. Only now the BT139 triac will not pull 20A ( datasheet ) You need something more powerful .
It's worth a try ("experience is the son of difficult mistakes") Do not forget safety precautions!

Without a huge radiator, the triac will burn out at 20A. Approximately 1.3V falls on the simistor, the thermal resistance of the TO220 case is 62 deg / W.

As an alternative, I found this Thermostat with rs-485
