Description
Available either in through-hole or surface-mount
packages, the
BTA08, BTB08
and
T8
triac series
is 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 (BTA/BTB...W and T8
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 2500
V
RMS
) complying with UL standards (file ref.:
E81734).
