Overview
The BTA316X-800C/L01Q is a high commutation three-quadrant triac produced by WeEn Semiconductors. This component is designed for use in circuits where high static and dynamic dV/dt and dI/dt can occur. It features a planar passivated structure for enhanced voltage ruggedness and reliability. The triac is housed in a TO220F 'full pack' plastic package with an isolated mounting base, making it suitable for a variety of high-power applications.
