BTA16-700BWRG

Triacs Overview

The BTA16-700BWRG is a Snubberless™ Triac manufactured by STMicroelectronics, designed for AC switching applications. It features a maximum RMS on-state current of 16 A and a repetitive peak off-state voltage (VDRM) of 700 V. The device operates within a junction temperature range of -40°C to +125°C and utilizes a TO-220AB isolated package with three pins. Key electrical parameters include a maximum gate trigger voltage of 1.3 V, a maximum gate trigger current of 50 mA, and a maximum holding current of 50 mA. It supports a non-repetitive peak on-state current of 168 A and exhibits a typical on-state voltage of 1.55 V.

Triacs Feature Summary

• Snubberless design capability allows direct driving from logic circuits without external RC snubber networks.
• High dv/dt rating of 1000 V/us ensures reliable operation in noisy environments.
• Isolated TO-220AB package facilitates efficient heat dissipation and mounting.

Triacs Applications

• Light dimmers
• Solid state relays
• Motor speed control

Triacs Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized STMicroelectronics distributors or certified partners. Confirm RoHS compliance status and check for specific ordering suffixes that may indicate packaging variations. Ensure the supplier provides valid traceability documentation to mitigate risks associated with counterfeit components.

Triacs Selection Notes

Select this component when a 16A RMS current rating and 700V blocking voltage are required for AC load control. The Snubberless feature simplifies circuit design by eliminating external snubber components. Verify that the application's thermal management strategy can maintain the junction temperature within the specified -40°C to +125°C operating range under expected load conditions.
