Product details
Overview
T1635T-8G-TR from STMicroelectronics is a Snubberless™ Triac in D²PAK package rated for 16 A RMS on-state current, 800 V repetitive peak off-state voltage (VDRM/VRRM), and 35 mA gate trigger current (IGT), designed for high-commutation AC switching in motor control, heating, lighting, and crowbar protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the T1635T-8G-TR datasheet, T1635T-8G-TR pinout, T1635T-8G-TR application, or T1635T-8G-TR equivalent, key selection criteria include dV/dt immunity (≥1000 V/µs at 150 °C), (dl/dt)c capability (≥12 A/ms at 150 °C), junction temperature range (–40 to +150 °C), and snubberless operation under defined limits.
Technical Context
This three-quadrant Triac supports phase-angle and zero-crossing AC control without external snubbers when operated within its specified dV/dt and (dl/dt)c limits. Its design enables reliable turn-on at low gate drive (35 mA max) and stable holding/latching (IL ≤ 65 mA, IH ≤ 45 mA) across –40 to +150 °C junction temperature.
The device features a non-insulated D²PAK tab with Rth(j-c) = 1.15 °C/W, enabling efficient heat transfer to heatsinks. Its 900 V non-repetitive surge rating (VDSM/VRSM) and 126 A ITSM (16.7 ms) support robust inrush and fault handling in line-powered systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| IT(RMS) | 16 A - Sustained AC load current handling at Tc = 125.9 °C |
| VDRM / VRRM | 800 V @ Tj = 125 °C - Blocking voltage for 50–60 Hz AC line applications |
| IGT | 35 mA max - Gate current required to trigger conduction in all three quadrants |
| (dl/dt)c | 12 A/ms min @ Tj = 150 °C - Critical rate of current decrease ensuring reliable commutation without snubber |
| dV/dt | 1000 V/µs min @ Tj = 150 °C - Immunity to false turn-on during fast voltage transients |
| Rth(j-c) | 1.15 °C/W max - Thermal resistance from junction to case, enabling direct heatsink mounting |
| Tj Range | –40 to +150 °C - Extended operating junction temperature for high-ambient industrial environments |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| BTA16-800BWRG | 16 A/800 V Triac in TO-220 insulated package; lower dV/dt (600 V/µs typ.) and no (dl/dt)c spec | Requires snubber in high-dV/dt environments; limited to ≤125 °C Tj | Select when insulation is mandatory and thermal performance requirements are less stringent |
| BTB16-800CW | 16 A/800 V Triac in TO-220 non-insulated package; rated for 125 °C Tj only; no snubberless validation | Lacks documented snubberless operation and high-temperature (dl/dt)c data | Choose where cost is prioritized over extended thermal margin and verified commutation robustness |
Compared with BTA16-800BWRG and BTB16-800CW, the T1635T-8G-TR delivers higher thermal margin (150 °C), quantified snubberless operation, and validated (dl/dt)c performance at elevated temperature-making it preferable for compact, high-reliability AC control designs.

FAQ
Is the T1635T-8G-TR truly snubberless, and under what conditions?
Yes-the T1635T-8G-TR is validated for snubberless operation per ST's DS12734, provided dV/dt remains ≤1000 V/µs at 150 °C and (dl/dt)c stays within ≥12 A/ms limits. It must be mounted on an adequate heatsink (Rth(j-c) = 1.15 °C/W) and operated within specified IT(RMS) and Tj boundaries.
What is the maximum allowable case temperature for continuous 16 A operation?
The datasheet specifies IT(RMS) = 16 A at Tc = 125.9 °C (Figure 2). Exceeding this case temperature requires derating: at Tc = 135 °C, IT(RMS) drops to ~14.5 A; at Tc = 145 °C, it falls to ~12 A. Thermal design must ensure Tc ≤ 125.9 °C for full-rated current.
Can the T1635T-8G-TR be used in DC applications?
No-it is a bidirectional AC switch (Triac) that latches only during alternating polarity. In DC, it conducts once triggered but cannot commutate off without current interruption. For DC switching, use a MOSFET or IGBT instead.
How does the non-insulated D²PAK tab affect PCB layout and safety compliance?
The A2 tab is electrically connected to Anode 2 and must be isolated from other conductive layers unless intentionally tied to the same potential. Clearance and creepage distances must comply with IEC 60950/62368 for the system's working voltage, especially in mains-connected designs.
