DESCRIPTION
Available either in through-hole or surface-mount
packages, the BTA16, 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
) complying with UL standards
RMS
(File ref.: E81734).
