DESCRIPTION Suitable for AC switching operations, the BTA/ BTB06 series can be used as an ON/OFF function in applications such as static relays, heating regulation, induction motor starting circuits... or for phase control in light dimmers, motor speed controllers,... The snubberless and logic level versions (BTA/ BTB...W) are specially recommended for use on inductive loads, thanks to their high commutation performances. By using an internal ceramic pad, the BTA series provides voltage insulated tab (rated at 2500V RMS) complying with UL standards (File ref.: E81734) ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS
