The BTA08 triac series is suitable for general purpose AC switching. They can be used as an ON/OFF function in applications such as static relays, heating regulation, induction motor starting circuits, or for phase control operation in light dimmers, motor speed controllers etc. By using an internal ceramic pad, the BTA series provides voltage insulated tab (rated at 2500VRMS) complying with UL standards. The snubberless and logic level versions are specially recommended for use on inductive loads, thanks to their high commutation performances.
