Product details
Overview
T405Q-600H from STMicroelectronics is a 4 A, 600 V sensitive quadrants I–IV triac in IPAK package, with quadrant-specific gate trigger current (5 mA for I/II/III, 10 mA for IV), designed for direct MCU-driven AC load switching in compact home appliance motor controls and lighting dimmers.
For engineers reviewing the T405Q-600H datasheet, T405Q-600H pinout, T405Q-600H application, or T405Q-600H equivalent, key selection criteria include gate sensitivity across all four quadrants, 38 A non-repetitive surge rating at 16.7 ms, thermal resistance of 3 °C/W (junction-to-case), and ECOPACK®2-compliant lead-free IPAK packaging for high-reliability embedded AC control.
Technical Context
This triac operates as a bidirectional AC switch with full four-quadrant triggering capability, enabling gate drive without external polarity conditioning. Its low 5 mA IGT in quadrants I–III supports direct interfacing with standard GPIOs, while the 10 mA requirement in quadrant IV ensures robust turn-on under reverse-phase conditions.
It features a 700 V non-repetitive surge off-state voltage (VDSM/VRSM), 10 V/µs dV/dt immunity at 125 °C, and dynamic on-state resistance ≤100 mΩ at 125 °C - critical for minimizing conduction loss in thermally constrained fan and pump drivers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| IT(rms) | 4 A - continuous RMS current handling for small-motor loads up to ~500 W at 230 VAC |
| VDRM / VRRM | 600 V - blocking voltage rating suitable for 230 VAC mains with safety margin |
| IGT (QI–III / QIV) | 5 / 10 mA - enables direct microcontroller GPIO drive without buffer stage in most quadrants |
| ITSM (tp = 16.7 ms) | 38 A - withstands inrush currents of universal motors and compressor startups |
| Rth(j-c) | 3 °C/W - allows high-power dissipation with minimal heatsink when mounted to PCB copper pour |
| dI/dt (critical) | 50 A/µs - resists false triggering during fast-rising load transients in solid-state relay replacements |
| VTM (ITM = 5 A) | ≤1.5 V - low conduction drop reduces self-heating in sealed enclosure applications |
Pinout & Package
IPAK package: insulated power package with isolated tab, 3-terminal configuration, lead-free, UL94 V0 epoxy, recommended mounting torque 0.4–0.6 N·m.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A1 | Main terminal 1 (anode 1) | Reference terminal for gate trigger; connects to load return or neutral side in AC circuits |
| A2 | Main terminal 2 (anode 2) | High-side AC line connection; carries full load current and defines voltage polarity reference |
| G | Gate | Four-quadrant trigger input; accepts low-current pulses to initiate conduction in any AC half-cycle direction |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| MCU-direct gate drive | 5 mA max IGT in QI–III eliminates need for discrete gate driver transistors in cost-sensitive designs |
| Four-quadrant operation | Guaranteed turn-on with gate pulse applied regardless of A2/A1 voltage polarity or current direction |
| ECOPACK®2 compliance | Lead-free, RoHS-compliant construction with halogen-free epoxy meeting industrial environmental requirements |
| High surge robustness | 38 A ITSM at 16.7 ms supports repeated motor startup cycles without degradation |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar sensitive triac applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| T405Q-600B-TR | DPAK package (vs. IPAK); Rth(j-a) = 70 °C/W (vs. 100 °C/W); tape-and-reel packaging | Better thermal coupling to PCB copper; suited for surface-mount automated assembly | Select when board space permits larger footprint and reflow compatibility is required |
| BT134-600D | Lower IT(rms) = 4 A but higher IGT = 15 mA (QI–III); no quadrant IV specification; TO-92 package | Limited to low-power, single-quadrant-triggered loads; unsuitable for MCU-direct QIV operation | Select only for legacy through-hole designs where gate drive margin exceeds 15 mA |
Compared with T405Q-600B-TR and BT134-600D, the T405Q-600H uniquely combines IPAK's mechanical robustness and isolation with guaranteed four-quadrant 5/10 mA triggering - essential for compact, MCU-driven AC control where PCB real estate and gate drive simplicity are prioritized over reflow assembly.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature for continuous operation?
The T405Q-600H has a rated operating junction temperature range of –40 °C to +125 °C. Continuous operation must maintain Tj ≤ 125 °C, achievable with proper heatsinking or PCB copper area per the 3 °C/W Rth(j-c) spec and thermal derating curves in Figure 2 of the datasheet.
Can this triac be used with zero-crossing detection circuits?
Yes - the T405Q-600H supports zero-crossing triggered operation. Its 10 V/µs dV/dt immunity at 125 °C and low 5 mA IGT ensure reliable turn-on when gated near voltage zero, minimizing EMI and inrush stress in lighting and motor control applications.
Is the IPAK package electrically isolated?
Yes - the IPAK package features an electrically isolated metal tab. The tab is not internally connected to any terminal, enabling safe mounting to grounded heatsinks without shorting A2 or requiring insulating hardware in most configurations.
Does the 5/10 mA IGT specification apply across the full temperature range?
No - the 5 mA (QI–III) and 10 mA (QIV) values are maximums at Tj = 25 °C. As shown in Figure 7, IGT increases with junction temperature; at 125 °C, typical IGT rises to ~2× room-temperature value, requiring gate drive design margin accordingly.
