BTA16 600V 16A Triac

BTA16 600V 16A Triac 

The BTA16 is a robust bidirectional AC switch (TRIAC) designed for a wide range of AC power control and switching applications. With a 600 V repetitive peak off-state voltage and 16 A RMS on-state current rating, it is suitable for moderate power loads in consumer and light industrial environments. The device supports four-quadrant triggering, allowing reliable operation in both voltage and current polarities of an AC waveform. Typically housed in a TO-220 package, the BTA16 can be easily mounted with a heat sink for improved thermal performance.
