BTA/BTB16 and T16 Series
SNUBBERLESS™ , LOGIC LEVEL & STANDARD 16A TRIACS
October 2002 - Ed: 6A
MAIN FEATURES:
DESCRIPTION
Available either in through-hole or surface-mount
packages, the BTA/BTB16 and T16 triac series is
suitable for general purpose AC switching. They
can be used as an ON/OFF function in applications
such as static relays, heating regulation, induction
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
inductive loads, thanks to their high commutation
performances. By using an internal ceramic pad,
the BTA series provides voltage insulated tab
(rated at 2500V RMS) complying with UL
standards (File ref.: E81734).
