BTA16-600B Triac 16A 600V TO-220 (Original)

The BTA16-600B Triac 16A 600V TO-220 (Original) is a high-performance bidirectional triode thyristor designed for general-purpose AC switching and phase control applications. As part of the STMicroelectronics BTA series, this component is specifically engineered to provide an insulated tab, which is a critical feature for designers seeking to simplify thermal management. The internal ceramic pad provides 2500VRMS insulation between the internal electrical terminals and the external mounting tab. This allows the device to be mounted directly onto a metal heatsink without the need for additional mica insulators or thermal pads, significantly reducing assembly time and cost while improving safety in high-voltage environments.

Features:

• Medium current rating of 16A RMS for handling substantial AC loads.
• Repetitive peak off-state voltage of 600V suitable for mains applications.
• Standard gate trigger current of 50mA for easy control.
• High commutation capability in four quadrants for reliable switching.
• Low thermal resistance with clip bonding for efficient heat dissipation.
• Insulated tab rated at 2500V RMS for enhanced safety.
