DESCRIPTION
Available either in through-hole or surface-mount
packages, the BTA08, BTB08 and T8 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 T8
series) are specially recommended for use on
inductive loads, thanks to their high commutation
performances.
Logic level versions are designed to interface
directly with low power drivers such as
microcontrollers.
By using an internal ceramic pad, the BTA series
provides voltage insulated tab (rated at
2500V
RMS
) complying with UL standards (file ref.:
E81734).
