STMicroelectronics BTA12-600CRG TRIAC TO220AB 12A 600V Tube

STMicroelectronics BTA12-600CRG is a triac housed in a TO-220AB package, designed to handle alternating currents with a maximum current rating of 12 amperes and a voltage capability of 600 volts. As a triode for alternating current, this device functions as a dual matched thyristor, facilitating efficient control and switching of AC signals. Its symmetrical construction allows for bidirectional operation, making it suitable for applications that require control of power in both directions, such as light dimmers, motor speed controls, and heater regulators. Engineers will appreciate its robust design, which is ideal for both industrial and consumer electronic applications where precise AC switching is essential. The BTA12-600CRG's durability and efficiency make it a preferred choice for situations necessitating reliable power control components.
