About this product
The BTA16-600B is a 16 A, 600 V triac from STMicroelectronics in an insulated-tab TO-220 package. It switches AC loads under gate control and is used in dimmers, heaters, solid-state relays and appliance motors. Its B-class gate sensitivity allows triggering with a modest gate current, and the insulated tab simplifies mounting on a shared heatsink.

How do I drive this triac from a microcontroller?
Use an opto-isolated triac driver, such as an MOC30xx-series optocoupler, with a gate resistor sized for the gate current in the datasheet. This keeps the microcontroller electrically isolated from mains.
Does this triac need a snubber?
For inductive loads such as motors, an RC snubber across the triac is recommended to prevent false turn-on when the current crosses zero. Purely resistive loads such as heaters usually do not need one.
