6. Frequently Asked Questions
▶>
Yes, the insulated “B” version allows direct heatsink mounting without a separate mica insulator.
>
The gate trigger current ranges from 50–80mA, making it compatible with microcontroller gate drivers with appropriate current handling.
>
Absolutely, BTA41-800B is commonly used in phase-angle control for resistive and inductive loads.
>
STMicroelectronics BTA41-800BRG, Littelfuse Q6008LT, and ON Semiconductor TRIAC equivalents.
