Product specification
Three quadrant triacs
guaranteed commutation
BTA216 series D, E and F
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
QUICK REFERENCE DATA
Passivated guaranteed commutation
triacs in a plastic envelope intended for
use in motor control circuits or with other
highly inductive loads. These devices
balance the requirements of commutation
performance and gate sensitivity. The
"sensitive gate" E series and "logic level"
D series are intended for interfacing with
low power drivers, including micro
controllers.

1 Although not recommended, off-state voltages up to 800V may be applied without damage, but the triac may
switch to the on-state. The rate of rise of current should not exceed 15 A/µs.
