Description
Available either in through-hole and surface-
mount packages, these devices are 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 and motor speed controllers, etc.
The Snubberless versions (BTA, BTB08_xxxxW
and T8 series) are specially recommended for
use on inductive loads, thanks to their high
commutation performance.
Logic level versions are designed to interface
directly with low power drivers such as
Microcontrollers.
By using an internal ceramic pad, the BTA series
provide voltage insulated tab (rated at 2500 V
RMS
)
in compliance with UL standards (file ref.:
E81734).
