STMicroelectronics Triac TO-220 Through Hole 3-Pin 600V 16A BTA16-600BWRG

STMicroelectronics BTA16-600BWRG Triac is designed as a robust, versatile switching device for managing AC power loads in a variety of circuits. Housed in a TO-220 through-hole package, this three-pin triac is rated for a repetitive peak reverse voltage of 600 V and can manage an average on-state current of up to 16 amperes, making it suitable for medium power AC applications where reliability and thermal performance are critical.

Thanks to its low maximum gate trigger voltage of 1.3 V and a gate trigger current threshold of only 50 mA, the BTA16-600BWRG is easily triggered with standard microcontroller outputs or low-power gate driver ICs. It is capable of withstanding surge currents up to 168 A, providing resilience during power-up and load transients in circuits such as motor starters, appliance control modules, light dimmers, and solid-state relays.

The device supports operation from -40°C to +125°C, allowing use in both industrial and commercial environments, including HVAC systems, lighting installations, industrial ovens, and home appliances. The single configuration and 3-pin through-hole design simplify PCB assembly and maintenance, while the TO-220 form factor ensures compatibility with a broad range of sockets and heat sinks for optimal thermal management.

Additional protection against voltage spikes is afforded by the 600 V VDRM rating and a low repetitive peak off-state current of 5 μA, minimizing leakage and maximizing overall energy efficiency for embedded and automation systems.

Features a robust TO-220 package for efficient heat dissipation and circuit integration. Rated average on-state current of 16 A for reliable medium-power control in AC loads. 600 V repetitive peak reverse voltage ensures high voltage tolerance and application flexibility.

Maximum gate trigger voltage of only 1.3 V enables low-power gate drive operation. High surge current capability up to 168 A for handling inrush and transient overloads. Low maximum gate trigger current of 50 mA simplifies triggering circuitry.

Can operate from -40°C to 125°C, providing wide temperature range for industrial and commercial applications. Single configuration ideal for use in light dimmers, AC motor speed controls, and solid-state relays.

The STMicroelectronics BTA16-600BWRG Triac is an excellent choice for system designers and engineers engaging with AC switching tasks in the electronics, lighting, and automation sectors.
