BTA08 S/A BTB08 S/A are sensitive gate triacs suitable for general purpose applications requiring high sensitivity. They have low IGT and low IH characteristics.
This document provides technical specifications for the BTA/BTB08 S/A triac family, which are high-performance glass passivated PNPN devices designed for general-purpose applications requiring high gate sensitivity. These components are suitable for phase control and static switching in 4Q configurations.
The datasheet includes absolute maximum ratings such as an RMS on-state current of 8A (BTA) or 10A (BTB), a non-repetitive surge peak current up to 84A, and operating junction temperatures from -40°C to +150°C. It also details thermal resistances, electrical characteristics like gate trigger current, and provides mechanical data for the TO220AB plastic package.
