About this manual

The BTA16, BTB16 and T16 series are 16 A, snubberless, logic‑level and standard triacs intended for general‑purpose AC switching, such as static relays, heating regulation, motor starting and light dimming. The series is offered in through‑hole DPAK and surface‑mount TO‑220AB packages, with versions optimized for inductive loads.

The document lists absolute maximum ratings, electrical and static characteristics, thermal resistance, and detailed ordering information. Mechanical drawings for DPAK and TO‑220AB packages, as well as revision history and legal disclaimer, are also included.
