BTB04-600SL: Is marking BTB04600SL (without dash) the same part as BTB04-600SL?

[Lma]

Hi ST team,

We received batches of BTB04-600SL triacs with two different body markings:

1. Marked: BTB04-600SL
2. Marked: BTB04600SL (no dash separator)

Could you help confirm:

1. Are they electrically identical, same die and specification?
2. Is the dash "-" optional for component laser marking?

Best regards

L Ma

Welcome ​@Lma, to the community!

You have not included any photos, so it is not even possible to do a rough check for fakes among them, but I can confirm that the BTB04-600SL is produced at several sites that apply the marking with exactly this difference. So if it is demonstrably genuine original goods, there are no technical differences whatsoever between the version with the dash and the one without the dash.

Hope that answers your questions?
