Product Description

The BTA16-800BW is a 16A, 800V snubberless triac designed for robust AC power control in industrial and consumer electronics.This three-terminal bidirectional thyristor adopts snubberless technology, optimizing high-current switching performance with minimal external components, often eliminating the need for an external RC snubber network in many applications. With a low gate trigger current, it ensures reliable switching in dimmer circuits, motor controllers, solid-state relays, and heating systems.

Key Features

  • Current Rating: 16A RMS (repetitive on-state current)
  • Voltage Rating: 800V (off-state repetitive peak voltage)
  • High Surge Current Capability: Withstands up to 160A (non-repetitive surge current)
  • Insulated Package: TO-220A fully insulated package for easy mounting without an additional insulator
  • Sensitive Gate: Low trigger current (typically 50mA) for easy drive with microcontrollers or logic circuits
  • Quadrant Operation: Supports triggering in I+, I-, III+, III- modes
  • Snubberless Design: Reduces the need for external snubber circuits in inductive load applications

Typical Applications

  • AC motor speed control
  • Dimmer circuits (lighting control)
  • Heating regulation (industrial heaters, domestic appliances)
  • Solid-state relays (SSRs)
  • Power switches in home automation

Conclusion

The BTA16-800BW is a versatile and durable triac suitable for medium-power AC switching applications. Its high current and voltage ratings, combined with a fully insulated package, makink it a preferred choice for engineers designing efficient and safe power control systems.
