Note: This product is non-returnable.
The BTA16-600B 16A 600V TRIAC, TO-220 Package is a power semiconductor device designed for AC switching and is especially suitable for power control circuits. The BTA16 TRIAC, in a TO-220 TRIAC for Power Circuits design, offers low thermal resistance and can handle currents up to 16A and voltages up to 600V with reliability. Its three terminals include two main terminals, A1 and A2, and a gate terminal G. Terminals A1 and A2 control the main current path, while the gate G triggers the current between the main electrodes.

This configuration allows precise and fast AC current control, making the BTA16-600B TRIAC ideal for various circuits. The 600V 16A Bidirectional Controllable TRIAC is widely used in industrial and home power control applications, such as solid-state relays, light dimmers, and motor speed controllers. Its compact TO-220 TRIAC package ensures easy mounting on printed circuit boards and effective heat dissipation for high-current operation.

From a technical perspective, the 16A 600V Industrial TRIAC features a non-repetitive On-State current of up to 168A and a non-repetitive Off-State voltage (VDRM) of 600V. The Off-State leakage current at VDRM is only 5µA, reflecting its high-quality semiconductor construction. On-State voltage is 1.55V, and the maximum holding current (Ih) is 50mA. Gate trigger voltage (Vgt) is 1.3V and gate trigger current (Igt) is 100mA, ensuring easy triggering and precise control.

The BTA16-600B TRIAC operates reliably across a temperature range of -40°C to 125°C. Its TO-220 TRIAC for Power Circuits design allows excellent heat dissipation, high energy efficiency, and long-term safe operation. This makes it ideal for industrial circuits, AC motor control, and lighting applications, capable of handling high currents and voltages stably.
