BTA204X series D, E and F
Three quadrant triacs guaranteed commutation
Rev. 5 — 3 November 2011
Product data sheet
1. Product profile
1.1 General description
Passivated guaranteed commutation triacs in a plastic full pack package. 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 microcontrollers.
1.2 Features and benefits
Suitable for interfacing with low power
drivers, including microcontrollers
Isolated mounting base
1.3 Applications
Motor control
High inductive loads
1.4 Quick reference data

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/s.
