Product specification
Three quadrant triacs
high commutation
BTA225 series B
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
QUICK REFERENCE DATA
Glass passivated high commutation
triacs in a plastic envelope intended
foruseincircuitswherehighstaticand
dynamic dV/dt and high dI/dt can
occur loads. These devices will
commutate the full rated rms current
at
the
maximum
temperature, without the aid of a
snubber.

Although not recommended, off-state voltages up to 800V may be applied without damage, but the triac may
switch to the on-state. The rate of rise of current should not exceed 15 A/
