BTA16-800CW

WEIDA · Thyristors (SCR)/Modules · TO-220

BTA16-800CW from WEIDA, in a TO-220. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 T1 passive Main terminal 1 of the triac, the 'T1(1)' terminal in the symbol; the device is rated for IT(RMS) 16 A and VDRM/VRRM of 800 V for this MPN.
2 T2 passive Main terminal 2 of the triac, the 'T2(2)' terminal in the symbol; in the insulated TO-220A package the tab is isolated from all three terminals (2500 VRMS rated).
3 G input Gate trigger terminal, 'G(3)'; the CW grade has IGT max 35 mA (quadrants I-II-III) at VD=12V, RL=33Ω with VGT max 1.3 V.
