BTA204S series B and C

Three-quadrant triacs high commutation

Rev. 03 24 May 2005

Product data sheet

1. Product profile
1.1 General description
Passivated high commutation triac in a SOT428 (DPAK) plastic package. Intended for use
in circuits where high static and dynamic dV/dt and high dI/dt can occur. These devices
will commutate the full rated RMS current at the maximum rated junction temperature,
without the aid of a snubber.

1.2 Features
High maximum junction temperature

High commutation capability

1.3 Applications
Motor control

Industrial and domestic heating
