Product details
Overview
ACS102-5TA from STMicroelectronics is a single-pole AC line switch in TO-92 package, designed for full-cycle on/off control of low-power inductive and resistive loads up to 0.2 A RMS at 100 °C ambient. It integrates an avalanche-clamping structure (VCL = 600 V), gate-level shifter driver, and negative-gate-triggering logic. Used in appliance motor drivers, solenoid valves, and door locks.
For engineers reviewing the ACS102-5TA datasheet, ACS102-5TA pinout, ACS102-5TA application, or ACS102-5TA equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping voltage robustness (600 V), gate trigger current < 5 mA, integrated overvoltage protection per IEC61000-4-5, and direct microcontroller interface without external snubbers or isolation.
Technical Context
The ACS102-5TA implements ST's ASD™ architecture with monolithically integrated high-voltage clamping diode and gate driver stage. Its negative-gate triggering (IGT < 5 mA) enables direct connection to MCU GPIOs via a series resistor, eliminating optocouplers or discrete level shifters.
It sustains 2 kV non-repetitive line pulse voltage per IEC61000-4-5, dissipates up to 20 mJ turn-off energy in its internal clamp section, and operates across -30 °C to +125 °C junction temperature with no external protection required for standard appliance transients.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDRM / VRRM | 500 V - blocking capability for 230 V AC mains with safety margin |
| VCL | 600 V - clamping voltage limits inductive kickback during turn-off |
| IT(RMS) | 0.2 A - continuous load current rating at Tamb = 100 °C (TO-92) |
| IGT | < 5 mA - minimal gate drive current enables direct MCU interfacing |
| dI/dt (critical) | 20 A/µs - supports fast-switching inductive loads without commutation aid |
| Tj range | -30 to +125 °C - qualified for harsh appliance environments |
| Rth(j-a) | 150 °C/W - thermal resistance defines heatsinking requirements for TO-92 |
Pinout & Package
ACS102-5TA uses TO-92 plastic package (3-pin, straight lead). Pin assignment is standardized: Pin 1 = G (Gate), Pin 2 = COM (Common reference/neutral connection), Pin 3 = OUT (Switch output to load).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| G | Gate input | Negative-current-triggered control terminal; sinks current from MCU GPIO through series resistor |
| COM | Common reference | Connects to AC neutral or system common; serves as thermal and electrical reference for gate driver |
| OUT | Switch output | High-side AC output terminal connected to load; withstands 500 V repetitive blocking |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated avalanche clamping | Clamps inductive turn-off energy (up to 20 mJ) without external components |
| Direct microcontroller interface | Eliminates optocoupler, level shifter, and gate resistor network |
| No external overvoltage protection | Meets IEC61000-4-5 (2 kV surge) and IEC335-1 without added TVS or MOV |
| Negative gate triggering | Enables safe, stress-free gate drive with standard CMOS outputs |
| Single-package AC switching | Replaces triac + snubber + driver IC stack, reducing BOM count by ~80% |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar AC line switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ACS108-5TA | Higher IT(RMS) = 0.8 A; same VDRM/VCL; TO-92 package | Supports heavier loads (e.g., larger pumps, compressors); higher thermal dissipation | Select when load current exceeds 0.2 A but space remains constrained to TO-92 footprint |
| ACS102-5T1 | SO-8 package; identical electrical specs; 40 mm² copper pad required for thermal performance | Enables multi-device mounting on shared cooling pad; better for high-volume PCB assembly | Choose for automated SMT production and thermal management via PCB copper area |
Compared with ACS102-5TA, ACS108-5TA offers 4× higher current capacity in the same TO-92 outline, while ACS102-5T1 retains identical electrical behavior but shifts thermal path to PCB copper-making it preferable for volume manufacturing where layout-controlled heatsinking is feasible.

FAQ
What is the maximum load current the ACS102-5TA can switch continuously?
The ACS102-5TA supports 0.2 A RMS continuous load current at an ambient temperature of 100 °C in TO-92 package, verified per IEC61000-4-5 surge testing and thermal derating curves. At lower ambient temperatures, it can sustain up to 0.3 A in full-cycle conduction mode without auxiliary turn-off aids.
Does the ACS102-5TA require external snubber or clamping components?
No. The device integrates a monolithic avalanche clamping structure rated at VCL = 600 V and withstands 2 kV non-repetitive line pulses per IEC61000-4-5. This eliminates external TVS diodes, RC snubbers, or varistors in standard appliance designs meeting IEC335-1 safety requirements.
How is the gate triggered, and what drive circuit is needed?
The ACS102-5TA uses negative-gate triggering: a current of < 5 mA must be sunk from the G pin to COM. A single series resistor (e.g., 1.4 kΩ for 7 V MCU output) between a standard GPIO and G pin suffices-no level shifter, optocoupler, or active driver is required.
Can multiple ACS102-5TA devices share a common heatsink or PCB copper area?
No-the TO-92 package lacks dedicated thermal pads. For shared thermal management, use the SO-8 variant ACS102-5T1, whose COM pins connect directly to a 40 mm² copper area under the package. The ACS102-5TA requires individual lead-frame thermal design or forced-air cooling above 0.15 A RMS.
