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).
