BTA20-800CW

WEIDA · TRIACs · TO-220

BTA20-800CW 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 (T1(1)); insulated from the heatsink tab with a rated insulation voltage of 2500 VRMS.
2 T2 passive Main terminal 2 of the triac (T2(2)); BTA20 isolates all three terminals from the tab at 2500 VRMS, with 20 A RMS on-state current and VDRM/VRRM of 800 V for this part.
3 G input Gate trigger input (G(3)); for the CW grade IGT is max 35 mA and VGT max 1.3 V in quadrants I-II-III (VD=12V, RL=33Ω).
