1/6® BTA40 and BTA/BTB41 SeriesSTANDARD40A TRIACSOctober 2001 - Ed: 4 MAIN FEATURES:DESCRIPTIONAvailable in high power packages, the BTA/BTB40-41 series is suitable for general purposeAC power switching. They can be used as an ON/OFF function in applications such as static relays,heating regulation, water heaters, induction motorstarting circuits, welding equipment... or for phasecontrol operation in high power motor speed con-trollers, soft start circuits...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 at 2500 VRMS) complying with UL standards (File ref.:E81734).SymbolValueUnitIT(RMS)40AVDRM/VRRM600 and 800VIGT (Q1)50mAABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGSSymbolParameterValueUnitIT(RMS)RMS on-state current(full sine wave)RD91Tc = 80°C40ATOP3TOP3 Ins.Tc = 70°CITSMNon repetitive surge peak on-state current (full cycle, Tj initial = 25°C)F = 60 Hzt = 16.7 ms420AF = 50 Hzt = 20 ms400I²tI²t Value for fusingtp = 10 ms880A²sdI/dtCritical rate of rise of on-state current IG = 2 x IGT , tr ≤ 100 nsF = 120 HzTj = 125°C50A/µ sVDSM/VRSM Non repetitive surge peak off-state voltagetp = 10 msTj = 25°CVDRM/VRRM+ 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°CGA2A1A1 A2 GA2A2A1GRD91(BTA40)A1 A2 GTOP3(BTB41)TOP3 Insulated(BTA41)BTA40 and BTA/BTB41 Series2/6ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS (Tj = 25°C, unless otherwise specified)STATIC CHARACTERISTICSNote 1: minimum IGT is guaranted at 5% of IGT max.Note 2: for both polarities of A2 referenced to A1THERMAL...
