STMicroelectronics BTA/BTB16 and T16 Series Triac Datasheet
This document provides technical specifications for the BTA/BTB16 and T16 Series triacs, which are available in through-hole or surface-mount packages. The series includes snubberless versions recommended for inductive loads and standard versions for general-purpose AC switching applications such as static relays and motor speed controllers.
The datasheet details absolute maximum ratings, electrical characteristics for both snubberless and standard types, thermal resistances, and product ordering information. It also includes mechanical dimension drawings for TO-220AB and D²PAK packages.
