BTA40-600B Description

The BTA40-600B from STMicroelectronics is a high-performance standard TRIAC designed for robust AC switching applications. With a 600V off-state voltage and a 40A RMS on-state current rating, this device is engineered to handle high-power loads efficiently. Packaged in the RD91 chassis-mount form factor, it ensures reliable thermal dissipation and mechanical stability in demanding environments. The TRIAC complies with ROHS3 and REACH regulations, making it suitable for global markets. Its low gate trigger current (50mA max) and 1.3V gate trigger voltage simplify drive circuit design, while the 80mA holding current ensures stable operation under varying load conditions.

BTA40-600B Features

• High Current Capacity: Supports 40A RMS continuous current and surge currents up to 400A (50Hz) / 420A (60Hz), ideal for inductive or capacitive loads.
• Low Trigger Requirements: 1.3V Vgt and 50mA Igt reduce driver complexity and power consumption.
• Robust Construction: Chassis-mount RD91 package enhances heat dissipation and mechanical durability.
• Wide Voltage Range: 600V blocking voltage ensures reliability in high-voltage AC applications.
• Compliance: ROHS3, REACH, and EAR99 certified for environmental and export compliance.
• Unlimited MSL Rating: Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 allows for extended storage and handling without degradation.
