## **Features** 

- Medium current Triac 

## **Description** 

Available in through-hole, the T16T series of Triacs can be used as on/off or phase angle control function in general purpose ac switching where high commutation capability is required. 

This series can be designed-in in many value sensitive appliances thanks to the parameters guidance provided in the following pages. 

Provides insulation rated at 2500 V rms (TO-220AB insulated package).
