Datasheet BTB12-400B, BTB12-600CWRG Specification

BTA12, BTB12, T12xx

12 A Snubberless™, logic level and standard triacs

Features

■ Medium current triac

■ Low thermal resistance with clip bonding

■ Low thermal resistance insulation ceramic for

insulated BTA

■ High commutation (4Q) or very high

commutation (3Q) capability

■ BTA series UL1557 certified (File ref: 81734)

■ Packages are RoHS ( 2002/95/EC) compliant

Applications

ON/OFF or phase angle function in applications
such as static relays, light dimmers and appliance
motors speed controllers.

The snubberless versions (BTA/BTB...W and T12
series) are especially recommended for use on
inductive loads, because of their high
commutation performances. The BTA series
provides an insulated tab (rated at 2500 V RMS).
