BTA16 Description

The BTA16 Triac series is ideal for general use AC switching and is available in through-hole and surface-mount packaging. They can be employed as an ON/OFF function in applications like static relays, heating regulation, induction motor starting circuits, and so on, or for phase control in light dimmers and motor speed controllers.

Because of their great commutation performance, the snubbers versions are especially suited for use on inductive loads. The BTA series provides a voltage insulated tab (rated at 2500V RMS) that meets UL standards by using an internal ceramic pad.

BTA16 Triac Dimming Circuit Diagram

The working concept of the TRIAC dimmer circuit diagram is as follows: power, 220V bulb VR4 R19 through C23 charge. The two-terminal voltage capacitor is not modified as a result of this.

Triac Dimming Circuit Diagram

The smaller charge determines the charging time VR4 and the R19 size. When the voltage is about 33V, the bigger the charge on the C23 when it is turned on. The DB1 programmable silicon is also a conducting thyristor. After a current is passed through the bulb, the DB1 conducting voltage on C23 is totally released. The DB1 and thyristor bulbs will both be turned off. They were the same as at the start of the C23 cycle. Because the phenomenon of the human eye has a short persistence duration, it looks to have been light bulb brilliant, with a shorter charge and discharge time. The higher the wattage, the brighter the bulb, and vice versa. SCR is protected by R20 C24. If you're using a resistive load, you can skip this step.

BTA16 Manufacturer

STMicroelectronics, headquartered in Plan-les-Ouates, Switzerland, near Geneva, is a multinational electronics and semiconductors firm. The company was created in 1987 by the merger of two government-owned semiconductor companies: "Thomson Semiconductors" in France and "SGS Microelettronica" in Italy. It is known as "ST" and is the most profitable semiconductor chip producer in Europe. While the corporate headquarters and EMEA regional offices of STMicroelectronics are in Geneva, the holding company, STMicroelectronics N.V., is based in the Netherlands.

The company's US headquarters are located in Coppell, Texas. The headquarters for the Asia-Pacific region is in Singapore, while Japan and Korea's activities are in Tokyo. The company's China regional headquarters are based in Shanghai.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between BTA16-800C and BTA16-800B?
1. The difference between BTA16-800C and BTA16-800B is that the trigger circuit IGT is different. The trigger circuit IGT of BTA16-800B is IGT<50mA, and the trigger circuit of BTA16-800C is IGT<25mA. The parameters of BTA16-800C are better. 2. BTA16-800C and BTA-800B are both STMicroelectronics (ST) products, and their naming methods are as follows: (1) B is Bi-directional, which means bidirectional; (2) T is Triode representing three terminals; (3) A represents insulation, B represents non-insulation; (4) 16 means the current is 16A; (5) 800 means the voltage is 800V (6) BDAIBAIO trigger circuit IGT<50mA, C stands for IGT<25mA.
Can SCR BTA16-600B be replaced by BTB16-600B?
BTA16-600B can have the same performance parameters as BTB16-600B, but the heat sink of BTA16-600B is not connected to the middle foot, and the heat sink of BTB16-600B is connected to the middle foot. If the thyristor does not have a heat sink, replace it with OK. If there is a heat sink and the fixed contacts of the heat sink are electrically connected, check whether the connection logic is correct or if there is a heat sink and there are multiple thyristors on the heat sink, the above The situation cannot be directly replaced unless insulating particles and mica flakes are used to solve the insulation problem.
Can the triac BTA16 replace the BTB16 when used on the control panel of a fully automatic washing machine?
Can be interchanged, but according to the original circuit to take specific insulation measures, A is insulated, B is not insulated.
