BTA16 BW/CW BTB16 BW/CW is a high performance triac family from Schneider Electric. The product has high switching speed, high surge current, high rated voltage and other characteristics. It is widely used in phase control and static switching applications.
This document provides technical specifications for the BTA16 BW/CW and BTB16 BW/CW SNUBBERLESS TRIAC family. These high-performance glass passivated chips utilize SGS-THOMSON's SNUBBERLESS™ concept to suppress the need for RC networks, making them suitable for phase control and static switching on inductive or resistive loads.
