BTA201 series B, E and ER
1 A Three-quadrant triacs high commutation
Rev. 04 — 4 February 2008
Product data sheet
1. Product profile
1.1 General description
Passivated, guaranteed commutation triacs in a plastic package. The ‘sensitive gate’ E
and ER series are intended for interfacing with low power drivers, including
microcontrollers. The high commutation B series are designed to commutate the full RMS
current at the maximum junction temperature without the aid of a snubber.

Although not recommended, off-state voltages up to 800 V may be applied without damage, but the triac may switch to the on-state. The
rate of rise of current should not exceed 6 A/µs.
