BTA216X-800B,127

Triacs Overview

The BTA216X-800B,127 is a planar passivated high commutation three quadrant triac manufactured by WeEn Semiconductors. It is housed in a TO220F (SOT186A) plastic package and designed for circuits experiencing high static and dynamic dV/dt and dI/dt. The device supports an RMS current of 16 A with a non-repetitive peak on-state current of 140 A. It features a rated repetitive peak off-state voltage of 800 V and a maximum junction temperature of 125 °C. Key electrical parameters include a gate trigger current of 50 mA across all quadrants and a dV/dt rating of 1000 V/µs.

Triacs Feature Summary

• Three quadrant operation providing enhanced noise immunity and high immunity to false turn-on via dv/dt.
• Planar passivated construction ensures robust performance under high static and dynamic voltage and current stress conditions.
• Capable of commutating the full rated RMS current at the maximum rated junction temperature without requiring external snubber circuits.

Triacs Applications

• Industrial motor control systems
• High power lighting dimmers
• Solid state relays
