Product details
Overview
T405-600H from STMicroelectronics is a 4 A, 600 V three-quadrant logic-level triac in IPAK package, designed for zero-crossing–free AC phase control of inductive loads. It features 5 mA max gate trigger current (IGT), 1.56 V max on-state voltage (VTM) at 5.5 A, and 20 V/µs minimum critical dV/dt at 125 °C - enabling direct microcontroller drive without buffer stages in universal motor and solenoid applications.
For engineers reviewing the T405-600H datasheet, T405-600H pinout, T405-600H application, or T405-600H equivalent, key selection criteria include commutation robustness under inductive switching, gate sensitivity for low-power drive, thermal resistance (Rth(j-c) = 2.6 °C/W), and snubberless operation in compact home appliance PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The T405-600H implements ST's Snubberless logic-level triac architecture with optimized emitter geometry and gate metallization to sustain high dI/dt (50 A/µs) and dV/dt (20 V/µs) without external snubbers. Its three-quadrant operation excludes quadrant IV triggering, reducing false turn-on risk in noisy AC environments.
It operates across -40 to +125 °C junction temperature with 4 A RMS on-state current rating at TC = 110 °C, supported by low dynamic resistance (120 mΩ) and 0.89 V threshold voltage (Vt0) at 125 °C - ensuring stable conduction under thermal stress in enclosed power tool enclosures.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| IT(rms) | 4 A - Sustains continuous 4 A RMS load current at TC = 110 °C without derating in IPAK heatsinked layouts |
| VDRM / VRRM | 600 V - Blocks 600 V peak reverse/forward voltage, suitable for 230 VAC mains with safety margin |
| IGT (max) | 5 mA - Enables direct drive from 3.3 V/5 V GPIOs without gate driver ICs |
| dV/dt (min) | 20 V/µs at 125 °C - Resists false triggering during fast voltage transients in motor commutation |
| Rth(j-c) | 2.6 °C/W - Delivers 1.5 W max power dissipation at ΔT = 4°C rise from case to junction |
| VTM (max) | 1.56 V at 5.5 A - Limits conduction loss to < 8.6 W at full load, reducing thermal design burden |
| I²t (fusing) | 5.1 A²s - Withstands single half-cycle surge up to 30 A (50 Hz) without destruction |
Pinout & Package
IPAK package (TO-251AA equivalent): insulated plastic body with integral heatsink tab, lead-free, UL94 V0 epoxy, 0.4 g mass, 75 pcs/tube. Thermal pad electrically connected to MT2 terminal.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| MT1 (Main Terminal 1) | Anode 1 / Load return path | Reference terminal for gate trigger; polarity-sensitive connection in phase-control circuits |
| MT2 (Main Terminal 2) | Anode 2 / Line input or load feed | Electrically tied to heatsink tab; must be isolated from chassis ground unless designed as common reference |
| G (Gate) | Trigger control input | Low-current (≤5 mA) logic-level input; requires no series resistor when driven by 3.3 V MCU with 200 Ω output impedance |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Snubberless operation | Eliminates need for RC snubber networks in 230 VAC inductive loads, reducing BOM count and PCB area by ≥3 components |
| Three-quadrant triggering | Blocks quadrant IV conduction, preventing unintended turn-on during negative gate pulses in noisy industrial environments |
| Logic-level gate sensitivity | 5 mA IGT max enables direct interface with STM32 GPIOs, avoiding discrete transistor buffers and associated layout complexity |
| High commutation performance | 20 V/µs dV/dt and 50 A/µs dI/dt ratings ensure reliable turn-off in universal motor brush arcing and solenoid coil collapse |
| ECOPACK® compliant | Halogen-free, RoHS-compliant molding compound meets IEC 61249-2-21 and JEDEC J-STD-020 reflow profiles |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar triac switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BT134-600D | 4 A IT(rms), 600 V VDRM, but 15 mA IGT max and TO-92 package - requires gate buffer stage | Limited to low-power resistive loads; unsuitable for direct MCU drive or high-dI/dt inductive switching | Select only if cost is primary constraint and gate drive capability exceeds 15 mA |
| T410-600H | 10 mA IGT max, same IPAK package and 600 V rating, but higher latching current (IL = 25 mA vs. 10 mA) | Better noise immunity in EMI-heavy environments; slightly slower turn-on in low-current phase control | Prefer when system uses 5 V logic with higher output impedance or requires enhanced false-trigger margin |
Compared with BT134-600D, T405-600H reduces gate drive complexity and improves inductive load commutation; versus T410-600H, it offers faster turn-on at light loads but demands tighter gate signal integrity.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature for continuous operation of T405-600H?
The T405-600H has an operating junction temperature range of -40 to +125 °C. Continuous operation at 125 °C is permitted only when case temperature (TC) is maintained at ≤110 °C per Table 3, and thermal design ensures Rth(j-c) ≤ 2.6 °C/W with adequate heatsinking.
Can T405-600H replace a standard 4 A triac like BT136 in existing designs?
Yes, but only if the existing design uses logic-level gate drive (≤5 mA) and does not rely on quadrant IV triggering. T405-600H's three-quadrant operation excludes QIV, so circuits dependent on negative gate pulses during MT2-negative half-cycles may fail to trigger reliably.
Is a heatsink required for T405-600H at 4 A RMS load current?
A heatsink is mandatory at 4 A RMS. With Rth(j-c) = 2.6 °C/W and VTM ≈ 1.5 V, power dissipation reaches ~6 W, causing >15 °C junction-to-case rise. Without heatsinking, junction temperature would exceed 125 °C even at ambient 25 °C - violating absolute maximum ratings.
Does T405-600H require a snubber circuit for driving universal motors?
No snubber is required. The device's 20 V/µs dV/dt rating at 125 °C and optimized internal structure enable snubberless operation with universal motors up to 800 W, as validated in ST's application note AN4312 for vacuum cleaner motor control.
