• Enhanced safety due to high blocking voltage

Additional Details:

The BTA16-700BW Triac has a repetitive peak off-state voltage of 700V, making it suitable for 230V AC line applications. It has a gate trigger current (Igt) typically less than 50mA. The device's high surge current capability (typically 120A for a single cycle) ensures robust performance under demanding load conditions. The holding current (Ih) is typically around 20mA. It has an operating temperature range of -40°C to +125°C. The TO-220 package allows for efficient heat dissipation with a thermal resistance of approximately 2.8°C/W (junction to case). This Triac offers a reliable and efficient solution for AC power control in various applications.
