BTA10/BTB10 series 10A TRIACS are suitable for general purpose AC switching. They can be used as an ON/OFF function in applications such as static relays, heating regulation, in- duction motor starting circuits. or for phase control operation in light dimmers, motor speed controllers,.
This document provides technical specifications for the BTA10 and BTB10 series 10A TRIACs, which are suitable for general-purpose AC switching applications. The devices are available in through-hole or surface-mount packages and can be used for ON/OFF functions in static relays or for phase control in light dimmers and motor speed controllers.
