Product details
Overview
ACT108-600D from NXP Semiconductors is an AC thyristor power switch in SOT54 (TO-92) package, designed for low-to-medium power AC load control with self-protective transient suppression. It delivers 600 V repetitive peak off-state voltage, 0.8 A RMS on-state current, and 300 V/µs dV/dt immunity. Its exclusive negative gate triggering enables robust operation in fan motor and pump circuits.
For engineers reviewing the ACT108-600D datasheet, ACT108-600D pinout, ACT108-600D application, or ACT108-600D equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed thermal and switching parameters, and two field-validated alternative parts for inductive/resistive AC load switching designs.
Technical Context
The ACT108-600D operates as a bidirectional AC switch with full-cycle conduction and negative gate triggering-requiring gate polarity reversal relative to load terminal for turn-on. It integrates intrinsic overvoltage clamping (650 V) and self-protective turn-on during high-energy transients per IEC 61000-4-5 test conditions.
Its gate sensitivity (0.5–5 mA IGT) and remote gate architecture isolate driver circuitry from load current effects. The device sustains 8.8 A non-repetitive peak on-state current for 16.7 ms and exhibits 0.15–0.9 V gate trigger voltage across –50 °C to 125 °C junction temperature range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDRM | 600 V repetitive peak off-state voltage - ensures reliable blocking of standard 230 VAC mains with safety margin |
| IT(RMS) | 0.8 A RMS on-state current - supports continuous operation in fan and pump motors up to ~180 W at 230 VAC |
| IGT | 0.5–5 mA gate trigger current - enables direct drive from low-power microcontrollers or optocouplers without amplification |
| dVD/dt | 300 V/µs off-state voltage rise rate - prevents false triggering in noisy industrial environments |
| VCL | 650 V clamping voltage at 100 µA - limits transient overvoltage to safe level below breakdown threshold |
| VT | 1.3 V on-state voltage at 1.1 A - yields <1.5 W conduction loss at rated current, minimizing heatsink requirements |
| Rth(j-a) | 150 K/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance - defines PCB copper area and layout needs for thermal management |
Pinout & Package
SOT54 (TO-92) plastic single-ended leaded through-hole package with 3 leads; body dimensions 4.8 × 4.2 × 5.2 mm (L × E × A), lead pitch 2.54 mm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | CM (Common) | Anode/cathode common reference point; connects to AC line neutral or return path in bidirectional switching configuration |
| 2 | G (Gate) | Negative-trigger input; requires reverse-polarity pulse relative to LD for turn-on; electrically isolated from load current path |
| 3 | LD (Load) | Main load terminal; carries full AC load current; polarity-sensitive relative to CM for correct triggering quadrant |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Exclusive negative gate triggering | Enables noise-immune turn-on by requiring gate signal polarity opposite to load voltage, reducing false triggering in EMI-prone environments |
| Self-protective turn-on during high-energy transients | Activates conduction before voltage exceeds 650 V, diverting surge energy through the device instead of external clamps |
| Remote gate architecture | Physically separates gate driver from load current loop, eliminating ground bounce and enabling simple optocoupler-based isolation |
| Safe clamping of low-energy over-voltage transients | Maintains off-state integrity up to 650 V with leakage <2 µA at 25 °C, preventing premature breakdown during line surges |
| Very sensitive gate | 0.5 mA typical trigger current allows direct interface with 3.3 V/5 V logic or low-current optocouplers like PC817 or TLP185 |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar AC thyristor switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BT134-600D | Same SOT54 package, 600 V VDRM, but 4 A IT(RMS); higher IGT (5–50 mA); no integrated clamping | Requires external transient protection; suited for higher-current loads where thermal headroom exists | Select BT134-600D only when >0.8 A RMS current is needed and board space allows external clamping components |
| MAC97A6 | TO-92 package, 600 V VDRM, 0.8 A IT(RMS); positive gate triggering; no self-protective turn-on feature | Lacks intrinsic high-energy transient response; relies on external crowbar or MOV for surge events | Choose MAC97A6 for cost-sensitive designs where IEC 61000-4-5 compliance is not required and gate drive polarity matches controller output |
Compared with BT134-600D and MAC97A6, the ACT108-600D uniquely combines low gate drive demand (0.5 mA), integrated 650 V clamping, and self-protective turn-on-making it optimal for space-constrained, transient-prone fan/pump controls where reliability trumps raw current rating.

FAQ
What is the maximum RMS on-state current rating for the ACT108-600D?
The ACT108-600D has a maximum RMS on-state current rating of 0.8 A under full sine-wave conditions with lead temperature ≤71 °C. This value is thermally limited by the SOT54 package and requires appropriate PCB copper area for heat dissipation. Exceeding this current risks junction overheating beyond the 125 °C absolute maximum, even if short-duration peaks remain within the 8.8 A non-repetitive limit. Derating is necessary above ambient temperatures of 50 °C.
Does the ACT108-600D support zero-crossing switching?
The ACT108-600D does not inherently support zero-crossing switching-it is a phase-control capable thyristor with negative gate triggering. Zero-crossing operation requires external timing circuitry (e.g., microcontroller + zero-cross detection) to synchronize gate pulses with AC voltage zero crossings. Its full-cycle conduction and high dV/dt immunity (300 V/µs) make it compatible with such implementations, but the device itself lacks internal zero-cross detection or timing logic.
What is the gate trigger voltage range for the ACT108-600D?
The ACT108-600D gate trigger voltage (VGT) ranges from 0.15 V (minimum at high junction temperature) to 0.9 V (maximum at 25 °C), measured at VD = 12 V and IT = 100 mA. This ultra-low VGT enables compatibility with 1.8 V, 3.3 V, and 5 V logic families when combined with appropriate series resistance, and contributes to its very sensitive gate characteristic (0.5–5 mA IGT).
How does the self-protective turn-on feature work in the ACT108-600D?
The self-protective turn-on feature in the ACT108-600D activates conduction when high-energy voltage transients exceed the device's internal clamping threshold (~650 V), causing controlled avalanche and gate-assisted triggering. This diverts surge current through the main terminals rather than allowing destructive voltage buildup. It operates without external components and is validated per IEC 61000-4-5 surge test waveforms, distinguishing it from standard thyristors that require external crowbar circuits.
Is the ACT108-600D suitable for automotive applications?
No, the ACT108-600D is not automotive-qualified. Per NXP's legal disclaimers, it is explicitly designated for industrial and consumer applications only. It has not undergone AEC-Q101 stress testing or automotive-grade qualification, and its thermal, lifetime, and ESD specifications do not meet automotive requirements. Use in automotive systems is unsupported and carries full customer liability per NXP's terms.
