PHILIPS BTA208-600B

Philips Semiconductors
Product specification
Three quadrant triacs
high commutation
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Glass passivated high commutation
triacs in a plastic envelope 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.
