Overview
The BTA316X-800C/L03Q is a high commutation three quadrant triac produced by WeEn Semiconductors. This device is part of the 'series C' triacs, known for their ability to commutate the full rated RMS current at the maximum rated junction temperature without the need for a snubber. It is packaged in a TO220F 'full pack' plastic package, which is designed for use in circuits where high static and dynamic dV/dt and high dI/dt can occur. The triac features planar passivation for enhanced voltage ruggedness and reliability.
