Hello, me again

Quick one, I have the:

MAC97A6 (08h) in the touch lamp gone under. As this can not be bought here, can somebody please see if I could use BT137-600E instead or even better, some of below:

This are all available.
Also, I noted that pins on the MAC are positioned different than on the others, can than the alternative be used?

Many thanks!

The original TRIAC is a sensitive gate type and works in all four quadrants.  Best bet is to make sure the replacement one has these features as well.  You still need a suitable voltage and current of course.

BT137 would work well as robust replacement, just get remember the pinout is different, so put it in the right way.
