The BTA16, BTB16 and T16 series is suitable for general purpose AC switching. They can be used as an ON/OFF function in applica- tions such as static relays, heating regulation, in- duction 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 in- ductive loads, thanks to their high commutation performances. By using an internal ceramic pad, the BTA series provides voltage insulated tab (rat- ed at 2500VRMS) complying with UL standards (File ref.: E81734).
The BTA16, BTB16 and T16 series are 16 A, snubber‑less, logic‑level and standard triacs offered in through‑hole DPAK and surface‑mount TO‑220AB packages. They are intended for general‑purpose AC switching such as static relays, heating regulation, motor starting and phase‑control dimmers. The snubber‑less versions are optimized for inductive loads with high commutation performance.
The document provides absolute maximum ratings, electrical and static characteristics, thermal resistance data, mechanical dimensions, and detailed ordering information (voltage, current, sensitivity, package and packing mode). Revision history and ECOPACK environmental packaging notes are also included.
