CTB16-1200CPT

Triacs Overview

The CTB16-1200CPT is a standard TRIAC manufactured by Sensata-Crydom, designed for high-voltage AC switching applications. It features a single element configuration housed in a TO-220AB through-hole package. The device supports an RMS current of 16A and withstands a maximum voltage of 1.2kV. Key electrical parameters include a hold current of 25mA and a maximum gate trigger voltage of 1.3V. It operates within a junction temperature range of -40°C to 125°C.

Triacs Feature Summary

• Provides reliable control of current flow in AC circuits functioning as an electronic switch
• Utilizes a robust TO-220AB through-hole mounting style for secure mechanical installation
• Engineered for high-voltage operation with a 1.2kV blocking capability

Triacs Applications

• Industrial motor speed control systems
• High-power lighting dimming circuits
• Resistive load switching applications

Triacs Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'CPT' against official Sensata-Crydom documentation to confirm pinout and thermal characteristics. Ensure the procurement source provides valid manufacturer traceability. Cross-reference the TO-220AB package dimensions with PCB layout requirements before ordering to guarantee physical compatibility.

Triacs Selection Notes

Select this component when a 16A RMS current rating and 1.2kV voltage handling are required for through-hole assembly. Consider the 1.3V maximum gate trigger voltage for driver circuit compatibility. Evaluate thermal management needs given the 125°C junction temperature limit and the specific heat dissipation capabilities of the TO-220AB package.

Triacs Part Context

This part belongs to the Crydom family of thyristors and TRIACs, which are widely recognized for solid-state switching solutions. The CTB series specifically targets industrial applications requiring durable AC power control. Sensata-Crydom has established these components as standard options for replacing electromechanical relays in high-reliability environments.

Triacs Replacement Considerations

The CTB16-1200BPT is a publicly confirmed substitute part number within the same product line. Verify that the BPT variant matches the required pin configuration and thermal performance for the specific application.
