DESCRIPTION
    Available either in through-hole or surface-mount
    packages, the BTA/BTB12 and T12 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 T12
    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 2500V RMS) complying with UL
    standards (File ref.: E81734)
