About this manual

This document provides technical specifications for the BTA08 B/C and BTBO8 B/C standard triac family. These glass passivated PNPN devices are designed for general-purpose applications requiring high surge current capability, such as phase control and static switching on inductive or resistive loads.

The datasheet details absolute ratings including RMS on-state currents up to 8A and non-repetitive surge peak currents up to 124 A. It also covers thermal characteristics, electrical parameters like gate trigger current (IGT) and holding current (IH), and ordering information for insulated (BTA) and uninsulated (BTB) variants in the TO220AB plastic package.
