Triacs
BTA140 series
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Passivated triacs in a plastic
envelope, intended for use in
applications
requiring
high
bidirectional transient and blocking
voltage capability and high thermal
cycling
performance.
Typical
applications include motor control,
industrial and domestic lighting,
heating and static switching.
