BTB16-800BWRG

Triacs Overview

The BTB16-800BWRG is a Snubberless Triac from STMicroelectronics, rated for 800 V repetitive peak off-state voltage and 16 A RMS on-state current. It features a maximum gate trigger current of 50 mA and a holding current of 50 mA. The device operates within a junction temperature range of -40 °C to +125 °C and withstands a non-repetitive surge current of 168 A. Packaged in a TO-220AB insulated configuration with three pins, it provides an isolation voltage of 2.5 kV between the tab and terminals.

Triacs Feature Summary

• Snubberless design optimized for high commutation performance on inductive loads
• Electrically isolated tab via internal ceramic pad for safety compliance
• Logic-level gate sensitivity for direct microcontroller interfacing

Triacs Applications

• Static relay switching circuits
• Induction motor starting applications
• Phase control operation in light dimmers
• Motor speed controllers

Triacs Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'WRG' against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm RoHS compliance and packaging details. Ensure the ordered component matches the exact part number to avoid confusion with similar series variants that may have different electrical ratings or package types.

Triacs Selection Notes

Select this component when high commutation capability is required for inductive loads without external snubber networks. The insulated TO-220AB package facilitates mounting to heatsinks while maintaining electrical isolation. Verify that the 16 A RMS rating meets the continuous load requirements of the target application circuit.

Triacs Part Context

This device belongs to the BTA16, BTB16, and T16 triac series designed for general-purpose AC switching. The BTB16 variant specifically utilizes a surface-mount compatible body style but is often utilized in through-hole configurations for robust thermal management in industrial power control environments.

Triacs Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Verify compatibility with alternative STMicroelectronics triacs such as the BTA16-800BWRG by comparing critical parameters including voltage ratings, current handling, and package dimensions.
