BTA12A
12A TRIACS
DESCRIPTION
Preliminary
TRIAC
The UTC
BTA12A
is a 12A triacs which can be operated in 3
quadrants only, it uses UTC’s advanced technology to provide
customers with high commutation performances, etc.
The UTC
BTA12A
is suitable for inductive load switching operations,
also can be used in ON/OFF function applications such as induction
motor starting circuits, heating regulation, static relays etc.
