Product details
Overview
ACS102-5T1 from STMicroelectronics is an AC line switch in SO-8 package, designed for full-cycle ON/OFF static switching of low-power inductive and resistive loads up to 0.2 A RMS (230 V AC), with 500 V repetitive peak off-state voltage, 600 V clamping voltage, and gate-triggering current < 5 mA. It integrates a high-voltage clamping structure and gate-level shifter driver, enabling direct microcontroller interface in appliance control systems.
For engineers reviewing the ACS102-5T1 datasheet, ACS102-5T1 pinout, ACS102-5T1 application, or ACS102-5T1 equivalent, this device supports IEC61000-4-5 surge immunity, eliminates external overvoltage protection, reduces component count by up to 80%, and allows multi-device mounting on a shared cooling pad via COM pins.
Technical Context
The ACS102-5T1 implements the ASD™ architecture with integrated avalanche clamping diode and gate-level shifter, enabling safe turn-off energy absorption (up to ~20 mJ) from inductive loads like solenoids and valves without snubber circuits. Its negative gate trigger current (flowing out of pin G) ensures isolation between digital controller and AC mains.
Thermal design leverages dual COM pins for heatsinking: Rth(j-l) = 60 °C/W with 40 mm² copper under COM pins, and creepage distance ≥3.5 mm from OUT to other pins meets IEC335-1 requirements. The SO-8 variant supports parallel mounting on shared PCB pads for thermal and layout efficiency.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDRM/VRRM | 500 V - Sustains repetitive peak AC line voltage without conduction in blocking state |
| IT(RMS) | 0.2 A at Tamb = 100 °C - Continuous load current rating for full-cycle AC switching |
| VCL | 600 V (typ.) - Clamps inductive turn-off transients to protect internal structure and downstream circuitry |
| IGT | < 5 mA (max) at Tj = 25 °C - Low gate drive requirement enables direct MCU GPIO interface via series resistor |
| (dI/dt)c | 0.1 A/ms (min) at Tj = 110 °C - Critical rate-of-rise limit defining safe commutation margin for inductive loads |
| VPP | 2 kV - Withstands non-repetitive line surge pulses per IEC61000-4-5 test conditions (R=150 Ω, L=5 µH) |
| Rth(j-a) | 150 °C/W - Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance with standard SO-8 PCB layout (no extended copper) |
Pinout & Package
ACS102-5T1 uses SO-8 surface-mount package with dual COM pins (pins 2 and 3) serving as common drive reference and primary thermal path. Pin 1 is NC, pin 4 is COM, pin 5 is G (gate), pin 6 is NC, pin 7 is NC, pin 8 is OUT. Creepage ≥3.5 mm from OUT (pin 8) to all other pins satisfies reinforced insulation requirements.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1, 6, 7 | NC | No internal connection; must be left unconnected or grounded per layout guidelines |
| Pins 2, 3, 4 | COM | Common drive reference and thermal sink; connects to neutral line and PCB copper pour for heat dissipation |
| Pin 5 | G | Gate input; triggered by negative current flowing *out* - driven directly by MCU GPIO through series resistor |
| Pin 8 | OUT | Switch output; connects to load (e.g., valve, relay, lamp); voltage clamped to ≤600 V during turn-off |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated clamping diode | Handles up to ~20 mJ turn-off energy from inductive loads (e.g., 10 H solenoid at 20 mA holding current), eliminating external snubbers |
| Negative gate trigger | Enables direct MCU interface without level-shifting ICs; gate current sourced from load side, isolating controller from AC domain |
| Dual COM thermal pins | Supports multi-device mounting on shared 40 mm² copper pad, reducing thermal resistance to 60 °C/W and simplifying heatsink design |
| IEC61000-4-5 compliance | Withstands 2 kV surge pulses (1.2/50 µs + 8/20 µs) without external TVS, meeting appliance transient immunity standards |
| No external overvoltage protection | Clamping and breakover behavior eliminate need for MOVs or TVS diodes across main terminals, cutting BOM count and board space |

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous load current the ACS102-5T1 can switch in a 230 V AC system?
The ACS102-5T1 supports 0.2 A RMS continuous current at 100 °C ambient temperature in SO-8 package, verified per IEC61000-4-5 surge testing and thermal characterization with 40 mm² copper under COM pins. Derating applies above 100 °C ambient per Figure 6 in the datasheet.
Can the ACS102-5T1 replace a mechanical relay in solenoid valve applications?
Yes - it replaces relays in low-power AC solenoid valves (e.g., dishwasher inlet valves) by providing silent, wear-free switching with integrated clamping for inductive kickback. It handles up to 20 mJ turn-off energy and sustains 0.2 A RMS without auxiliary snubbers or flyback diodes.
How is the gate driven, and what MCU interface configuration is required?
Pin G requires a negative gate current flowing *out* of the pin, so the MCU GPIO must sink current through a series resistor (e.g., 140 Ω for 12 V drive). No level shifter or optocoupler is needed; the gate is referenced to COM, not ground, ensuring isolation from AC line potential.
Does the ACS102-5T1 require external overvoltage protection when used on 230 V AC mains?
No - its integrated clamping diode limits VOUT to ≤600 V during transients, and it withstands 2 kV non-repetitive surges per IEC61000-4-5 without external MOVs or TVS diodes. This is confirmed by test circuit Figure 3 and waveform validation in Figures 1 and 4.
