STMicroelectronics BTA06 and BTB06 Series 6A Triacs Datasheet
This datasheet describes the BTA06 and BTB06 series of 6A triacs, which are suitable for general-purpose AC switching applications such as static relays, heating regulation, and phase control. The series includes snubberless and logic level versions specifically recommended for inductive loads, as well as standard versions for four-quadrant operation. Devices are available in both through-hole and surface-mount TO-220AB packages, with options for insulated and non-insulated tabs.
