BTA12, BTB12, T12xx
12 A Snubberless™, logic level and standard triacs
Features
Medium current triac
Low thermal resistance with clip bonding
Low thermal resistance insulation ceramic for
insulated BTA
High commutation (4Q) or very high
commutation (3Q) capability
BTA series UL1557 certified (File ref: 81734)
Packages are RoHS ( 2002/95/EC) compliant
Applications
ON/OFF or phase angle function in applications
such as static relays, light dimmers and appliance
motors speed controllers.
The snubberless versions (BTA/BTB...W and T12
series) are especially recommended for use on
inductive loads, because of their high
commutation performances. The BTA series
provides an insulated tab (rated at 2500 V RMS).
Description
Available either in through-hole or surface-mount
packages, the BTA12, BTB12 and T12xx triac
series is suitable for general purpose mains
power AC switching.
