®1/7Table 1: Main FeaturesDESCRIPTIONAvailable in high power packages, the BTA/BTB40-41 series is suitable for general purposeAC switching. They can be used as an ON/OFFfunction in applications such as static relays, heat-ing regulation, induction motor starting circuits... orfor phase control operation in light dimmers, motorspeed controllers, ...Thanks to their clip assembly technique, theyprovide a superior performance in surge currenthandling capabilities.By using an internal ceramic pad, the BTA seriesprovides voltage insulated tab (rated at2500VRMS) complying with UL standards (File ref.:E81734).SymbolValueUnitIT(RMS)40AVDRM/VRRM600 and 800VIGT (Q1)50mABTA40, BTA41 and BTB41 Series40A TRIACSREV. 7October 2005STANDARDTable 2: Order CodesPart NumberMarkingBTA40-xxxBSee table 8 on page 6BTA41-xxxBRGBTB41-xxxBRGGA2A1GA2A2A1TOP3 Insulated(BTA41)TOP3(BTB41)A2A1GRD91(BTA40)GA2A1BTA40, BTA41 and BTB41 Series2/7Table 3: Absolute Maximum RatingsTables 4: Electrical Characteristics (Tj = 25°C, unless otherwise specified)Table 5: Static CharacteristicsSymbolParameterValueUnitIT(RMS)RMS on-state current(full sine wave)RD91 / TOP3Tc = 95°C40ATOP Ins.Tc = 80°CITSMNon repetitive surge peak on-state current (full cycle, Tj initial = 25°C)F = 50 Hzt = 20 ms400AF = 60 Hzt = 16.7 ms420I²tI²t Value for fusingtp = 10 ms880A²sdI/dtCritical rate of rise of on-state cur-rent IG = 2 x IGT , tr ≤ 100 nsF = 120 HzTj = 125°C50A/µ sVDSM/VRSMNon repetitive surge peak off-state voltagetp = 10 msTj = 25°CVDSM/VRSM + 100VIGMPeak gate currenttp = 20 µ sTj = 125°C8APG(AV)Average gate power dissipationTj = 125°C1WTstgTjStorage junction temperature rangeOperating junction temperature range- 40 to + 150- 40 to + 125°CSymbolTest ConditionsQuadrantValueUnitIGT (1)VD...
