The BTA/BTB08 and T8 series are triacs suitable for general purpose AC switching, with features of snubberless, logic level, and standard 8A. They can be used as an ON/OFF function in applications such as static relays, heating regulation, and induction motor starting circuits, or for phase control operation in light dimmers and motor speed controllers. The snubberless versions are recommended for use on inductive loads due to their high commutation performances.
This document provides technical specifications for the BTA/BTB08 and T8 Series triacs, which are suitable for general purpose AC switching applications such as static relays, heating regulation, and phase control. The series includes snubberless versions recommended for inductive loads and standard versions for various sensitivity requirements.

They are suitable for general purpose AC switching, static relays, heating regulation, induction motor starting circuits, light dimmers, and motor speed controllers.
The snubberless versions (BTA/BTB...W and T8 series) are specially recommended for use on inductive loads.
The average gate power dissipation is rated at 1 W when the junction temperature is 125°C.
