Triac family has best-in-class isolation

The BTAxxxx series of triacs features 12 new devices with available power ratings of 8, 12, and 16 A, with gate trigger current levels of 35 and 50 mA and a blocking voltage of 800 V. The devices suit industrial and control applications where isolation voltage is critical and safety is a primary concern.

The devices provide best-in-class 2,500 Vrms at 300-ms isolation performance, high gate trigger current for snubberless designs, 2,000 V/us dV/dt for noise immunity and three quadrant operation. These devices are available in an isolated TO220 package. (Ea/1,000: 8 A, $0.45; 12 A, $0.47; 16 A, $0.54 — available now.)
