NXP BTA201 Series B/E/ER Triac Datasheet
The BTA201 series triacs are passivated, high‑commutation devices offered in B, E and ER variants. The B version handles full RMS current without a snubber, while the E and ER versions feature a sensitive gate for low‑power driver interfacing.
The document provides detailed electrical limits, thermal characteristics, static and dynamic parameters, pin configurations, ordering information, and legal notices for designers and engineers.
