G G TO-220AB Insulated TO-220AB The snubberless versions (BTA/BTB...W and T12 (BTA12) (BTB12) series) are especially recommended for use on inductive loads, because of their high commutation performances. The BTA series Order code provides an insulated tab (rated at 2500 V RMS). See Ordering information on page 11 Description Available either in through-hole or surface-mount packages, the BTA12, BTB12 and T12xx triac series is suitable for general purpose mains power AC switching.
