DESCRIPTION
Available either in through-hole or surface-mount
packages, the BTA/BT B08 and T8 triac series is
suitable for general purpose AC sw itching. 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 T8
series) are specially recommended for use on
inductive loads, than ks to their high com mutation
performances. By usin g an internal ceramic pa d,
the BTA series provides voltage insulated tab
(rated at 2500V RMS) complying with UL
standards (File ref.: E81734)
