Overview
The BTA20-700CWRG Triac, produced by STMicroelectronics, utilizes high-performance glass passivated chip technology. This component is part of the BTA20 series, which features the Snubberless concept, eliminating the need for an RC network. This design makes it suitable for applications involving phase control and static switching on inductive or resistive loads.
The clip assembly technique employed in the BTA20 Triacs enhances their surge current handling capabilities. Additionally, the internal ceramic pad provides a voltage-insulated tab, rated at 2500 V rms, which complies with UL standards (File ref.: E81734).
