What is the maximum RMS on-state current?
The maximum RMS on-state current (IT) at a temperature of 90 °C is 10 A.
Is the BTA10 GP suitable for light dimmer applications?
Yes, its insulated TO-220AB package and high surge current make it well adapted to LIGHT DIMMER applications.
What is the primary advantage of these triacs?
They offer a snubberless concept that suppresses the need for an RC network.
