Product details
Overview
T1050-8G from STMicroelectronics is a 10 A, 800 V Snubberless™ triac in D²PAK package, designed for high-reliability AC mains switching in inductive loads. It delivers 50 mA gate trigger current (IGT), 1000 V/µs dV/dt immunity at 125 °C, and 2500 VRMS insulated tab rating per UL1557 (E81734), enabling direct use in motor speed controllers and static relays without external snubbers.
For engineers reviewing the T1050-8G datasheet, T1050-8G pinout, T1050-8G application, or T1050-8G equivalent, this part is selected for robust 3-quadrant commutation in phase-control circuits where thermal resistance (Rth(j-c) = 1.5 °C/W), junction-to-case cooling, and insulation integrity are critical design constraints.
Technical Context
The T1050-8G is a 3-quadrant Snubberless™ triac optimized for inductive load commutation without external RC networks. Its internal ceramic insulation provides 2500 VRMS isolation between tab and die, meeting UL1557 requirements (file E81734), and its gate structure ensures stable triggering across -40 to +125 °C junction temperature range.
It operates with 50 mA maximum IGT, 1.3 V max VGT, and 500–1000 V/µs dV/dt immunity at 125 °C - parameters validated for reliable turn-on under high dv/dt transients common in motor drive and dimmer applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| IT(RMS) | 10 A RMS on-state current - supports continuous 1.2 kW @ 120 VAC or 2.4 kW @ 240 VAC resistive loads |
| VDRM / VRRM | 800 V peak off-state voltage - enables safe operation on 240 VAC mains with ≥2× safety margin |
| IGT (max) | 50 mA - compatible with standard microcontroller GPIO or optocoupler drivers without amplification |
| dV/dt (min) | 1000 V/µs at 125 °C - eliminates false triggering in noisy inductive environments (e.g., compressor startups) |
| Rth(j-c) | 1.5 °C/W - allows 10 A conduction with ≤15 °C junction-to-case rise under forced-air cooling |
| Insulation Rating | 2500 VRMS tab-to-die - satisfies reinforced insulation requirements for Class I appliances per IEC 60335 |
| (dI/dt)c | 9 A/ms minimum - sustains rapid current rise during zero-crossing switching into inductive loads |
Pinout & Package
D²PAK (TO-263) surface-mount package with isolated metal tab; thermally efficient layout for PCB copper heatsinking (SCu = 2 cm² recommended).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A1 (MT1) | Main Terminal 1 | Reference terminal for gate triggering; connected to load return path in most phase-control topologies |
| A2 (MT2) | Main Terminal 2 | High-side AC line connection; carries full load current and defines polarity reference for quadrants |
| G | Gate | Low-energy control input; triggers conduction when referenced to A1; requires ≥50 mA pulse for guaranteed turn-on |
| Tab (isolated) | Thermal & Electrical Reference | Electrically isolated metal pad rated 2500 VRMS; mounted directly to heatsink without insulator washer |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Snubberless™ 3Q operation | Eliminates need for external RC snubber in inductive load switching, reducing BOM count and board space |
| UL1557-certified insulation | 2500 VRMS isolation meets appliance safety standards without additional creepage/clearance design effort |
| Low Rth(j-c) = 1.5 °C/W | Enables compact thermal design: 10 A RMS sustained with ≤15 °C junction rise using 2 cm² copper pour |
| High dV/dt immunity (1000 V/µs) | Prevents spurious turn-on during voltage transients in motor drives and lighting ballasts |
| RoHS-compliant ECOPACK® | Meets EU Directive 2002/95/EC; no lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, PBB, or PBDE |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar triac-based AC switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BTA10-800BW | Same 10 A / 800 V / 50 mA specs but TO-220AB insulated package; Rth(j-c) = 2.4 °C/W vs. 1.5 °C/W | Requires mechanical mounting and insulating washer; better suited for through-hole prototyping or low-volume assembly | Select when manual soldering, field repair, or legacy footprint compatibility is required |
| T1035-6G | Lower 35 mA IGT, same D²PAK package; dV/dt = 500 V/µs (vs. 1000 V/µs); (dI/dt)c = 5.5 A/ms (vs. 9 A/ms) | Less robust against fast transients; suitable only for lighter inductive loads like small fans or transformers | Select only if gate drive capability is limited and load commutation stress is low |
Compared with BTA10-800BW and T1035-6G, the T1050-8G offers superior thermal performance and transient immunity - making it the preferred choice for high-duty-cycle, high-dV/dt applications such as compressor motor control and industrial heating systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature for continuous operation of T1050-8G?
The T1050-8G has a specified operating junction temperature range of -40 to +125 °C. Continuous operation at 125 °C is permitted provided thermal design maintains case temperature ≤95 °C for D²PAK package, as confirmed in Table 1 of DS3165 Rev 9.
Can T1050-8G be used in 4-quadrant triggering configurations?
No - T1050-8G is a Snubberless™ 3-quadrant triac (quadrants I, II, III only). It lacks guaranteed gate sensitivity in quadrant IV, and its datasheet electrical characteristics (Table 3) explicitly exclude IV quadrant testing, unlike standard 4Q triacs such as BTA10-xCW variants.
Is the metal tab electrically connected to any internal terminal?
No - the D²PAK tab is fully insulated from A1, A2, and G terminals, with 2500 VRMS dielectric strength verified per UL1557 file E81734. This allows direct mounting to grounded heatsinks without isolation hardware.
What is the recommended PCB copper area for thermal management?
ST recommends a minimum 2 cm² copper surface under the tab for D²PAK packages (see Table 5 footnote 1). With this area, Rth(j-a) drops to 45 °C/W, enabling 10 A RMS operation with ≤45 °C ambient-to-junction rise under natural convection.
