GENERAL DESCRIPTION QUICK REFERENCE DATA
Passivated guaranteed commutation SYMBOL PARAMETER MAX. MAX. MAX. UNIT
triacs in a plastic envelope, intended
for usein motorcontrol circuits or with BTA204- 500D 600D -
other highly inductive loads. These BTA204- 500E 600E 800E
devices balance the requirements of BTA204- 500F 600F 800F
commutation performance and gate V
sensitivity. The "sensitive gate" E off-state voltages
series and "logic level" D series are I
intendedforinterfacingwith low power I
drivers, including micro controllers. current
