BTA16 600V 16A TRIAC TO-220AB – AC Switching Device

The BTA16 600V 16A TRIAC TO-220AB is a high-performance bidirectional thyristor designed for reliable switching and phase control of AC loads. Housed in the popular TO-220AB package, this TRIAC can handle up to 16A RMS and block voltages of up to 600V, making it ideal for medium- to high-power AC switching applications.

Suitable for use in light dimmers, motor speed controllers, domestic appliances, and static switching relays, the BTA16 offers snubberless performance, making it compatible with highly inductive and resistive loads.

Its insulated tab design ensures better electrical isolation, making PCB mounting safer and more efficient.
