Product details
Overview
T1235H-6G-TR from STMicroelectronics is a 12 A, 600 V Snubberless™ Triac in D2PAK surface-mount package, rated for 150 °C junction temperature operation, with 35 mA max gate trigger current and 1000 V/µs dV/dt immunity at Tj = 150 °C - designed for universal motor control in vacuum cleaners and washing machine drum drives.
For engineers reviewing the T1235H-6G-TR datasheet, T1235H-6G-TR pinout, T1235H-6G-TR application, or T1235H-6G-TR equivalent, this part delivers verified high-temperature commutation performance, low thermal resistance (1.4 °C/W), and snubberless operation in compact D2PAK packaging for space-constrained AC switching designs.
Technical Context
This Triac operates across all three quadrants with guaranteed turn-off commutation up to 150 °C junction temperature, enabled by internal ceramic insulation (2500 Vrms) and clip-bonded construction that reduces Rth(j–c) to 1.4 °C/W. Its 50 A/µs critical dI/dt rating supports robust triggering under fast-rising load currents without external snubbers.
Electrical behavior is characterized by low on-state voltage (VT ≤ 1.5 V at 17 A, 25 °C) and stable threshold parameters (Vt0 ≤ 0.80 V, Rd ≤ 30 mΩ at 150 °C), ensuring predictable conduction and minimal power loss in high-duty-cycle motor drive waveforms.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| IT(RMS) | 12 A - Sustains full-sine AC load current without derating up to Tc = 130 °C in D2PAK package |
| VDRM / VRRM | 600 V - Blocks peak mains voltage (e.g., 230 VAC × √2 ≈ 325 V) with 87 % safety margin |
| IGT (max) | 35 mA - Low gate drive requirement compatible with standard microcontroller GPIO or optocoupler outputs |
| dV/dt (min) | 1000 V/µs at Tj = 150 °C - Immune to false triggering from rapid voltage transients in noisy motor environments |
| Rth(j–c) | 1.4 °C/W - Enables direct heatsink mounting with minimal thermal interface resistance for compact thermal design |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| BTB12-600CW | 12 A, 600 V, TO-220 package; 50 mA IGT; Rth(j–c) = 2.0 °C/W; no internal insulation | Requires external heatsink and snubber; not rated for 150 °C continuous operation | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs thermal density and snubber elimination needs |
| T1235H-6T | Same die, TO-220AB through-hole package; identical electrical specs; Rth(j–c) = 1.4 °C/W; no isolation | Suitable for prototyping or legacy through-hole assembly; lacks D2PAK's automated placement compatibility | Select when manual assembly, larger board area, or mechanical mounting constraints favor TO-220 |
Compared with BTB12-600CW and T1235H-6T, the T1235H-6G-TR offers superior thermal performance per unit area, eliminates snubber components, and supports automated SMT production - making it optimal for high-volume, space-limited consumer motor controls.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended case temperature for continuous operation?
The T1235H-6G-TR is rated for continuous operation with case temperature up to 130 °C in D2PAK package, as confirmed by absolute maximum ratings table (IT(RMS) = 12 A at Tc = 130 °C). Exceeding this requires derating per Figure 2 in the datasheet.
Does this Triac require a heatsink in typical vacuum cleaner applications?
A heatsink is strongly recommended: although Rth(j–c) is low (1.4 °C/W), junction temperature must stay ≤150 °C. With 12 A RMS load and typical PCB copper area, thermal simulation shows >100 °C rise - a minimal heatsink or metal-core PCB is necessary for reliability.
Can T1235H-6G-TR replace T1235H-6T in an existing design?
Yes, with layout revision: both share identical die and electrical specs, but T1235H-6G-TR uses D2PAK (surface-mount) versus TO-220AB (through-hole) for T1235H-6T. Pad layout, thermal relief, and assembly process must be updated accordingly.
Is the D2PAK tab electrically isolated from the die?
No - the D2PAK tab (A2) is electrically connected to Main Terminal 2. Isolation is only provided in the T12xxH-6I variant (TO-220AB Insulated), which features internal ceramic insulation rated at 2500 Vrms.
