DESCRIPTION
Available either in through-hole or surface-mount
packages, the
BTA16, BTB16
and
T16
triac series
is suitable for general purpose AC switching. They
can be used as an ON/OFF function in applica-
tions such as static relays, heating regulation, in-
duction motor starting circuits... or for phase
control operation in light dimmers, motor speed
controllers, ...
The snubberless versions (BTA/BTB...W and T16
series) are specially recommended for use on in-
ductive loads, thanks to their high commutation
performances. By using an internal ceramic pad,
the BTA series provides voltage insulated tab (rat-
ed at 2500V
RMS
) complying with UL standards
(File ref.: E81734).
