STMicroelectronics T12 Manuals

The BTA/BTB12 and T12 triac series are suitable for general purpose AC switching. They can be used as an ON/OFF function in applications such as static relays, heating regulation, induction motor starting circuits. or for phase control operation in light dimmers, motor speed controllers. The snubberless versions are specially recommended for use on inductive loads, thanks to their high commutation performances. Logic level versions are designed to interface directly with low power drivers such as microcontrollers. The BTA series provides voltage insulated tab (rated at 2500V RMS) complying with UL standards.

BTA/BTB12 and T12 series SNUBBERLESS™, LOGIC LEVEL & STANDARD 12A TRIACS are general purpose AC switching devices from STMicroelectronics. They can be used as an ON/OFF function in applications such as static relays, heating regulation, induction motor starting circuits. or for phase control operation in light dimmers, motor speed controllers,.

The BTA12, BTB12 and T12 triac series is suitable for general purpose AC switching. They can be used as an ON/OFF function in applica- tions such as static relays, heating regulation, in- duction motor starting circuits. or for phase control operation in light dimmers, motor speed controllers,. The snubberless versions (BTA/BTB.W and T12 series) are specially recommended for use on inductive loads, thanks to their high commutation performances. Logic level versions are designed to interface directly with low power drivers such as microcontrollers. By using an internal ceramic pad, the BTA series provides voltage insulated tab (rated at 2500VRMS) complying with UL standards (File ref.: E81734).

This document introduces the main features of the BTA12, BTB12 and T12 series triacs, including application scenarios, package types, pin definitions, and specifications.
