(BTB24)
Description
Available either in through-hole or surface-mount
packages, the
BTA24, BTB24, BTA25, BTA26
and
T25
triac series is suitable for general
purpose AC switching. They 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, ...
The snubberless versions (BTA/BTB...W and T25
series) are 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
(File ref.: E81734).
