ST BTA04 T/D/S/A BTB04 T/D/S/A handbook(2)
This document provides technical specifications for the BTA/BTB04 T/D/S/A family of high-performance glass passivated PNPN devices. These triacs are designed for general-purpose applications requiring high gate sensitivity, such as phase control and static switching.
The datasheet covers absolute ratings including on-state current up to 4A and surge peak currents up to 42A. It details electrical characteristics across quadrants I through IV, thermal resistance values for both insulated (BTA) and non-insulated (BTB) packages, and mechanical dimensions for the TO-220AB package.
