BTA/BTB06 B/C is a high performance glass passivated PNPN device, suitable for general purpose applications where high surge current capability is required. Applications such as phase control and static switching on inductive or resistive load.
This document provides a comprehensive technical overview of the BTA/BTB06 family of high-performance glass passivated PNPN devices. These triacs are designed for general-purpose applications requiring high surge current capability, specifically suitable for phase control and static switching on inductive or resistive loads.
The datasheet details absolute ratings including RMS on-state current up to 6A and non-repetitive surge peak currents reaching 63A. It includes specific electrical characteristics such as gate trigger current (IGT), holding current (IH), and critical rates of rise for voltage (dV/dt) and current (di/dt). Thermal resistances from junction to case and ambient are also specified, along with ordering information covering various voltage ratings from 400V to 800V.
| RMS on-state current (360° conduction angle) | BTA: 6A @ Tc=100°C; BTB: 6A @ Tc=105°C |
|---|---|
| Non repetitive surge peak on-state current (tp = 8.3 ms) | 63 A |
| Critical rate of rise of on-state current (Repetitive) | 10 A/ µs |
| Storage and operating junction temperature range (BTA) | -40 to +150 °C |
| Junction to case thermal resistance (DC) for BTA | 4.4 °C/W |
| Gate trigger current (IGT) MAX (Quadrant I-II-III) | 50 mA |
They are suitable for general purpose applications where high surge current capability is required, such as phase control and static switching on inductive or resistive loads.
The maximum operating junction temperature (Tj) for BTA devices is +150 °C.
The device uses a TO220AB plastic package.
