Product details
Overview
ACS102-6T1-TR from STMicroelectronics is a transient-protected AC line switch (ACS™) designed for direct microcontroller-driven AC ON/OFF control of low-power inductive or resistive loads. It delivers 0.2 A RMS on-state current, 600 V blocking voltage (VDRM), 5 mA gate trigger current (IGT), and integrated overvoltage crowbar clamping (VCL ≥ 650 V) - enabling robust switching in appliance valves, solenoids, and door locks without external snubbers.
For engineers reviewing the ACS102-6T1-TR datasheet, ACS102-6T1-TR pinout, ACS102-6T1-TR application, or ACS102-6T1-TR equivalent, this device offers verified IEC 61000-4-5 compliance, direct MCU interface via negative gate current, SO-8 thermal performance with common-tab cooling, and validated clamping behavior during high-dI/dt inductive turn-off.
Technical Context
The ACS102-6T1-TR integrates an ASD-based structure combining a main AC switch with an overvoltage crowbar and gate-level shifter driver. Its triggering relies on negative gate current (IGT = 5 mA max), and it operates in quadrants II–III with static dV/dt immunity >300 V/µs at 125°C.
Clamping action activates when load current falls below holding current (IH ≤ 20 mA), limiting voltage to VCL ≥ 650 V during inductive energy dissipation. The SO-8 package provides Rth(j-a) = 150 °C/W (FR4, 40 mm² copper) and supports multi-device thermal sharing via common tab connection.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| RMS On-State Current | 0.2 A at Tamb = 100°C - supports continuous switching of micro-motors, solenoids, and valves without derating in compact enclosures. |
| Blocking Voltage | 600 V VDRM - ensures reliable isolation across 230 VAC mains with margin for transients and harmonics. |
| Gate Trigger Current | 5 mA max - enables direct drive from standard MCU GPIO pins with simple series resistor (no level shifter required). |
| Clamping Voltage | ≥650 V at Tj = 125°C - actively limits turn-off overvoltage from inductive loads up to 15 H, eliminating need for varistors. |
| Static dV/dt Immunity | >300 V/µs at Tj = 125°C - prevents false triggering from EMI or fast line transients in noisy industrial environments. |
| On-State Voltage Drop | ≤1.2 V at ITM = 0.3 A - minimizes conduction loss and self-heating in thermally constrained SO-8 layout. |
| Thermal Resistance | 150 °C/W junction-to-ambient (SO-8, FR4, 40 mm² copper) - enables stable operation up to 100°C ambient with standard PCB copper area. |
Pinout & Package
ACS102-6T1-TR uses the SO-8 surface-mount package with exposed thermal pad (common tab). Pin assignments are validated per STMicroelectronics datasheet Rev 2 (June 2006), Figure 18 and Table 6.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| COM | Common reference terminal | Connects to AC mains neutral or return path; shared tab enables thermal coupling with other ACS devices. |
| OUT | Switched AC output | Drives load (e.g., valve coil); carries full load current and experiences clamped overvoltage during turn-off. |
| G | Negative gate input | Receives sinking current from MCU GPIO; triggers conduction when IG ≥ 5 mA (negative polarity required). |
| NC (Pins 2, 4, 5, 7) | No connect | Unbonded internal terminals; must remain unconnected per design - no routing or grounding allowed. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated overvoltage crowbar | Clamps turn-off spikes to ≤650 V without external components - meets IEC 61000-4-5 surge immunity without varistors or snubbers. |
| Direct MCU interface | Accepts negative gate current from standard 3.3 V/5 V GPIO - eliminates level shifters, optocouplers, and discrete drivers. |
| Common-tab thermal architecture | Exposed SO-8 tab serves as both thermal path and COM node - allows parallel mounting of multiple ACS devices on single heatsink or copper plane. |
| High-noise immunity | Static dV/dt >300 V/µs at 125°C - suppresses false triggering from EMI in washing machines, HVAC controls, and industrial PLC outputs. |
| Inductive load optimized | Holding current IH ≤ 20 mA and latching current IL ≤ 25 mA - ensures reliable turn-on and sustained conduction for solenoids and micro-motors. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar AC line switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ACS108-6T1-TR | Higher RMS current rating (0.8 A), same 600 V VDRM and SO-8 package; requires higher gate current (IGT = 15 mA). | Supports heavier inductive loads (e.g., larger solenoids, 24 VAC contactors); not suitable for space-constrained 0.2 A designs due to increased thermal mass. | Select when load current exceeds 0.2 A but board layout and thermal budget allow SO-8 footprint reuse. |
| ACS102-6TA-TR | Same electrical specs (0.2 A, 600 V, 5 mA IGT), but TO-92 through-hole package with Rth(j-l) = 60 °C/W - superior lead-to-board conduction cooling. | Better suited for low-volume, serviceable designs or legacy through-hole assembly; lacks common-tab thermal sharing capability of SO-8. | Choose for manual assembly, field-replaceable modules, or when PCB real estate permits larger TO-92 footprint and enhanced thermal conduction. |
Compared with ACS102-6TA-TR and ACS108-6T1-TR, the ACS102-6T1-TR uniquely balances ultra-low component count, SO-8 thermal scalability via common tab, and verified 0.2 A inductive switching - making it optimal for high-volume, space-constrained appliance control boards requiring IEC 61000-4-5 compliance without redesign.

FAQ
What is the correct gate drive configuration for ACS102-6T1-TR?
The ACS102-6T1-TR requires a negative gate current - meaning the MCU GPIO must sink current from the G pin through a series resistor. With a 5 V MCU, a 680 Ω resistor yields ~5.1 mA gate current, satisfying the 5 mA max IGT spec. The COM pin must be tied to the MCU ground reference, and no positive gate voltage may be applied.
Can ACS102-6T1-TR replace a mechanical relay in a 230 VAC, 0.15 A solenoid circuit?
Yes - the ACS102-6T1-TR supports 0.2 A RMS at 100°C ambient and clamps turn-off overvoltage to ≥650 V, eliminating the need for external snubbers. Its 600 V VDRM provides 1.6× margin above 230 VAC peak (325 V), and its >300 V/µs dV/dt immunity prevents false triggering from solenoid back-EMF transients.
Does ACS102-6T1-TR require a heat sink in SO-8 configuration?
No dedicated heat sink is required for typical 0.2 A loads at ≤100°C ambient, provided the SO-8 thermal pad is soldered to ≥40 mm² of 35 µm copper on FR4. The datasheet confirms Rth(j-a) = 150 °C/W under those conditions, resulting in ≤30°C junction rise above ambient - well within the 125°C max Tj rating.
How does the crowbar overvoltage protection differ from a standard TVS diode?
The ACS102-6T1-TR's crowbar structure is monolithically integrated and activated only during inductive turn-off or line surges - it conducts heavily to clamp voltage to VCL ≥650 V while dissipating stored inductive energy internally. Unlike a TVS, it does not degrade with repeated events and requires no external power path or layout compromises.
