With TO-220AB Insulated package, the BTA16-600B triac is high performance glass passivated PNPN devices. BTA16-600B is suitable for general purpose AC switching, and 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,etc
BTA16-600B is specially recommended for use on inductive loads, thanks to their high commutation performances. By using an internal ceramic pad, the BTA series provides voltage insulated tab (rated at 2500V RMS) complying with UL standards.
