I need help finding a part from a 6 Amp car battery recharger.
I think the part is a TRIAC,(board is marked "TR1") but I'm
not sure. It is a 3 lead package like a 7805 voltage regulator,
mounted to a flat piece of aluminum for a heatsink. The left lead
is connected to the 12V from the power supply, the center lead
goes to some other discrete circuitry, the right lead goes to
the connection for the battery. 

It is marked as follows:
Top: S1207BH
bottom: TAG8816

I can't seem to find it anywhere in my books.
Anyone have any suggestions? What about just picking another
generic TRIAC that can handle at least 6 Amps?

Thanks, Iain Galloway
