Product details
Overview
T16M35T600B from Diodes Incorporated is a 16 A RMS, 600 V bidirectional silicon thyristor (triac) in TO-220AB package, rated for operation across quadrants Q1, Q2, and Q3, with 150 A non-repetitive surge capability and glass-passivated junctions for thermal stability-used in AC motor speed control, solid-state relay interfaces, and dimmer circuits.
For engineers reviewing the T16M35T600B datasheet, T16M35T600B pinout, T16M35T600B application, or T16M35T600B equivalent, key selection criteria include blocking voltage (600 V), RMS current rating (16 A), gate trigger current (35 mA), critical dv/dt (600 V/µs), and TO-220AB thermal performance under 80°C case temperature.
Technical Context
This triac operates in three quadrants (Q1, Q2, Q3) with symmetrical forward/reverse blocking behavior, enabling phase-controlled AC switching without polarity constraints. Its glass-passivated junction ensures consistent turn-on characteristics and long-term reliability across -40°C to +125°C junction temperature range.
Gate triggering is specified at 12 V with 100 Ω load, requiring ≤35 mA and ≤1.5 V across all quadrants. The device sustains 600 V/µs commutation dv/dt at 125°C case temperature, minimizing false triggering in noisy industrial AC environments.
Key Specifications

| IT(RMS) | 16 A - Delivers continuous AC load current up to 3.6 kW resistive at 230 VAC. |
| ITSM | 150 A - Withstands single-cycle inrush surges from motors or transformers. |
| I2t | 93 A²s - Enables fuse coordination for overcurrent protection in branch circuits. |
| dv/dt | 600 V/µs - Resists false triggering during fast voltage transients in industrial AC lines. |
| VTM | 1.6 V - Limits conduction loss to ≤25.6 W at 16 A RMS, reducing heatsink requirements. |
| IGT | 35 mA - Compatible with standard microcontroller GPIO or optocoupler drivers without amplification. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar triac switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STMicroelectronics BTB16-600CW | Same 16 A/600 V rating; 50 mA IGT, higher gate sensitivity required. | Requires stronger gate drive; less suitable for low-power MCU interfaces. | Prefer when legacy ST ecosystem integration or specific packaging (TO-220 insulated) is needed. |
| Littelfuse Q6016LH5 | 16 A/600 V; 50 mA IGT; 25 A ITSM (lower surge rating). | Limited to lower-energy surge environments; not recommended for motor-start applications. | Select only for cost-sensitive, low-surge residential lighting where gate drive margin exists. |
Compared with BTB16-600CW and Q6016LH5, T16M35T600B offers lower gate trigger current (35 mA vs. 50 mA), higher surge rating (150 A vs. 25–100 A), and verified three-quadrant operation-making it optimal for compact, noise-immune, high-reliability AC control designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature for continuous operation?
The T16M35T600B supports continuous operation from -40°C to +125°C junction temperature. Derating begins above +80°C case temperature, where the 16 A RMS rating applies. Thermal resistance RθJC is 0.8°C/W (typical), requiring appropriate heatsinking to maintain TJ ≤ 125°C under full load.
Can this triac be used in zero-crossing switched applications?
Yes-the T16M35T600B supports zero-crossing triggering when paired with compatible driver circuitry (e.g., MOC302x optocouplers). Its 35 mA gate trigger current and 1.5 V VGT ensure reliable turn-on at voltage zero crossings, minimizing EMI and inrush stress on connected loads.
Is the TO-220AB package electrically insulated?
No-the TO-220AB package used for T16M35T600B has an electrically conductive metal tab (MT2) that is internally connected to Pin 2 and Pin 4. Electrical isolation must be achieved externally using insulating hardware (e.g., shoulder washers, isolated mounting kits) when mounting to grounded heatsinks.
Does this part meet automotive qualification standards?
The T16M35T600B(LS) variant is RoHS 3 and halogen-free but is not AEC-Q101 qualified. For automotive applications, Diodes offers AEC-Q101-qualified triacs (e.g., T16M35T600BQ) with PPAP documentation and IATF 16949 manufacturing-contact Diodes directly for qualified alternatives.
