About this manual

The BTA04 and BTB04 T/D/S/A triac family are high‑performance glass‑passivated PNPN devices with very low gate trigger current, suitable for general‑purpose applications such as phase‑control and static switching. The document provides absolute ratings, thermal resistance values, electrical characteristics and ordering information.

Key data include an insulating voltage of 2500 V RMS, on‑state RMS current of 4 A, non‑repetitive surge peak current of up to 42 A, and detailed mechanical dimensions for the TO‑220AB plastic package.
