STMicroelectronics BTB12-600BWRG TRIAC TO-220AB 12A 600V Tube

STMicroelectronics BTB12-600BWRG is a triac component designed to handle up to 12 amperes and 600 volts in a standard TO-220AB package. The device functions as a triode for alternating current, effectively managing bi-directional current flow, which is characteristic of dual matched thyristors or symistors. It is built to reliably control electrical currents in both directions, acting as an anti-parallel thyristor pair, which makes it ideal for applications involving motor speed controls, light dimmers, and heater controls. This robust triac is suitable for high-reliability industrial and consumer applications where efficient and precise control of AC power is critical.
