1/9® BTA/BTB24, BTA25, BTA26and T25 SeriesSNUBBERLESS™ & STANDARD25A TRIACSSeptember 2002 - Ed: 6A MAIN FEATURES:DESCRIPTIONAvailable either in through-hole of surface and T25mount packages, the BTA/BTB24-25-26 triacseries is suitable for general purpose AC powerswitching. They can be used as an ON/OFFfunction in applications such as static relays,heating regulation, water heaters, induction motorstarting circuits...or for phase control operation inhigh power motor speed controllers, soft startcircuits...The snubberless versions (BTA/BTB...Wand T25 series) are specially recommended foruse on inductive loads, thanks to their highcommutation performances.By using an internal ceramic pad, the BTA seriesprovides voltage insulated tab (rated at 2500VRMS) complying with UL standards (File ref.:E81734).SymbolValueUnitIT(RMS)25AVDRM/VRRM600 and 800VIGT (Q1)35 to 50mAABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGSSymbolParameterValueUnitIT(RMS)RMS on-state current (full sine wave)D²PAKTO-220ABTc = 100°C25ARD91TOP3 Ins.Tc = 90°CTO-220AB Ins.Tc = 75°CITSMNon repetitive surge peak on-state current (full cycle, Tj initial = 25°C)F = 60 Hzt = 16.7 ms260AF = 50 Hzt = 20 ms250I²tI²t Value for fusingtp = 10 ms340A²sdI/dtCritical rate of rise of on-state current IG = 2 x IGT , tr ≤ 100 nsF = 120 HzTj = 125°C50A/µsVDSM/VRSM Non repetitive surge peak off-state voltagetp = 10 msTj = 25°CVDRM/VRRM+ 100VIGMPeak gate currenttp = 20 µsTj = 125°C4APG(AV)Average gate power dissipationTj = 125°C1WTstgTjStorage junction temperature rangeOperating junction temperature range- 40 to + 150- 40 to + 125°CGA2A1GA2A2A1GA2A1TO-220AB(BTB24)TO-220ABInsulated(BTA24)TOP3Insulated(BTA26)A1 A2 GA2A2GA1A2A1GD2PAK(T25G)RD91(BTA25)BTA/BTB24, BTA25, BTA26 and T25 Series2/9ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS (Tj...
