DESCRIPTION
Available either in through-hole or surface-mount packages, the BTA08, BTB08 and T8 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 T8 series) are specially recommended for use on inductive loads, thanks to their high commutation performances.
Logic level versions are designed to interface directly with low power drivers such as microcontrollers.
By using an internal ceramic pad, the BTA series provides voltage insulated tab (rated at 2500VRMS) complying with UL standards (file ref.: E81734).
