Objective specification
Three quadrant triacs
guaranteed commutation
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Glass passivated high commutation
triacs in a plastic envelope suitable for
surface mounting, intended for use in
motor control circuits or with other
highly inductive loads. These devices
balance
the
requirements
of
commutation performance and gate
sensitivity. The "sensitive gate" E
series and "logic level" D series are
intended for interfacing with low power
drivers, including micro controllers.

Although not recommended, off-state voltages up to 800V 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.

Limiting values
BTA208B series D, E and F
This data sheet contains target or goal specifications for product development.
This data sheet contains final product specifications.
Preliminary specification This data sheet contains preliminary data; supplementary data may be published later.
Limiting values are given in accordance with the Absolute Maximum Rating System (IEC 134). Stress above one
or more of the limiting values may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only and
operation of the device at these or at any other conditions above those given in the Characteristics sections of
this specification is not implied. Exposure to limiting values for extended periods may affect device reliability.
