BTA/BTB16 and T16 series SNUBBERLESS™, LOGIC LEVEL & STANDARD 16A TRIACS are suitable for general purpose AC switching, and can be used as 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 BTA/BTB16 and T16 series are 16 A TRIACs offered in through‑hole and surface‑mount packages for general‑purpose AC switching. They can be used for static relays, heating regulation, induction‑motor start circuits, light dimmers and motor‑speed controllers. Snubber‑less versions are recommended for inductive loads due to high commutation performance, and the insulated BTA version provides a 2500 V RMS voltage‑insulated tab meeting UL standards.
The document provides detailed electrical characteristics (on‑state current, gate trigger voltage, dV/dt, dI/dt), thermal resistances, packaging options, mechanical dimensions and ordering information for the various part numbers.
| Maximum RMS on‑state current (IT(RMS)) | 16 A |
|---|---|
| Maximum repetitive off‑state voltage (VDRM/VRRM) | 600 V, 700 V, 800 V |
The devices are rated for a maximum RMS on‑state current of 16 A.
The insulated BTA version provides a voltage‑insulated tab rated at 2500 V RMS, complying with UL standards.
