Product details
Overview
T835-600G from STMicroelectronics is a snubberless, 3-quadrant logic-level triac rated for 8 A RMS on-state current and 600 V repetitive peak off-state voltage (VDRM/VRRM), with 35 mA maximum gate trigger current (IGT). It operates across -40 °C to +125 °C junction temperature and features high commutation performance for inductive loads. It is used in phase-control motor speed controllers and solid-state relays requiring robust AC switching without external snubbers.
For engineers reviewing the T835-600G datasheet, T835-600G pinout, T835-600G application, or T835-600G equivalent, key selection criteria include dV/dt immunity (400 V/µs at 125 °C), critical commutation current (dl/dt)c ≥ 3.5 A/ms, low 1.55 V on-state voltage at 11 A, insulated thermal resistance (Rth(j-c) = 1.6 °C/W), and D²PAK package compatibility with high-power PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This triac uses a 3-quadrant triggering architecture optimized for logic-level drive, enabling direct interface with microcontrollers without gate amplification. Its snubberless design relies on enhanced dV/dt immunity (400 V/µs) and high (dl/dt)c (≥3.5 A/ms) to sustain reliable commutation under inductive load transients.
It supports full-cycle AC conduction with symmetrical bidirectional blocking and latching behavior governed by gate-triggered turn-on and natural current-zero turn-off. The device exhibits low on-state resistance (50 mΩ) and threshold voltage (0.85 V at 125 °C), minimizing conduction losses in continuous-duty applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| IT(RMS) | 8 A - Sustains continuous AC load current up to 8 A at case temperature ≤110 °C in D²PAK package. |
| VDRM / VRRM | 600 V - Blocks up to 600 V peak reverse or forward voltage across main terminals A1–A2 before conduction. |
| IGT (max) | 35 mA - Maximum gate current required to reliably trigger conduction at 25 °C; reduced sensitivity improves noise immunity. |
| dV/dt (min) | 400 V/µs - Minimum rate of voltage rise the device withstands without false triggering at 125 °C, enabling snubberless operation. |
| (dl/dt)c (min) | 3.5 A/ms - Minimum critical rate of decrease of on-state current required for reliable commutation at 125 °C. |
| Rth(j-c) | 1.6 °C/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance enables efficient heat transfer to heatsink in D²PAK mounting configuration. |
| VTM (max) | 1.55 V - Maximum on-state voltage drop at 11 A pulse, defining conduction loss ceiling at room temperature. |
Pinout & Package
The T835-600G is housed in a D²PAK (TO-263) surface-mount package with three terminals: A1 (MT1), A2 (MT2), and G (Gate). The package features a thermally enhanced exposed tab connected to A2, requiring electrical isolation if mounted to grounded heatsinks.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A1 (MT1) | Main Terminal 1 | AC line or load return path; referenced as common terminal for gate control and current sensing. |
| A2 (MT2) | Main Terminal 2 | High-side AC line connection; electrically tied to exposed thermal pad-requires insulation when heatsink grounded. |
| G | Gate | Low-energy control input; triggers conduction between A1 and A2 when pulsed with ≥35 mA (max) at 12 V. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Snubberless operation | Validated for inductive loads without RC snubber networks due to 400 V/µs dV/dt immunity and 3.5 A/ms (dl/dt)c rating. |
| Logic-level gate drive | 35 mA IGT max enables direct interfacing with 3.3 V/5 V microcontroller GPIO pins without buffer stages. |
| D²PAK thermal performance | 1.6 °C/W Rth(j-c) supports 8 A RMS operation with minimal heatsinking-ideal for space-constrained industrial PCBs. |
| 3-quadrant triggering | Operates in quadrants I, II, and III only-eliminates false triggering from negative gate pulses and improves EMI robustness. |
| High commutation reliability | Guaranteed turn-off at zero-crossing under inductive loads up to 8 A, verified per IEC 61000-4-4 surge immunity standards. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar triac switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BTA08-600BW | TO-220AB insulated package; higher Rth(j-c) = 2.5 °C/W; same 600 V / 8 A / 50 mA IGT rating. | Requires mechanical mounting and thermal interface; suited for through-hole prototyping or legacy board designs. | Select when heatsink integration mandates screw-down mounting or UL-rated 2500 VRMS isolation is mandatory. |
| T850-600G | D²PAK package; identical footprint; higher 50 mA IGT; improved dV/dt = 1000 V/µs and (dl/dt)c = 4.5 A/ms. | Higher gate drive margin and commutation robustness-preferred for noisy industrial environments or high-L loads. | Select when upgrading for enhanced noise immunity or operating near thermal limits where tighter dV/dt margin is critical. |
Compared with BTA08-600BW, T835-600G offers superior thermal efficiency and SMT scalability; compared with T850-600G, it trades slightly lower dV/dt immunity for reduced gate drive demand-making it optimal for cost-sensitive, logic-driven motor control.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature for continuous operation?
The T835-600G has an operating junction temperature range of -40 °C to +125 °C. Continuous operation at 125 °C requires maintaining case temperature ≤110 °C per datasheet derating curves, achievable with proper D²PAK heatsinking and copper area (≥1 cm²).
Does T835-600G require a heatsink in 8 A applications?
Yes-when conducting 8 A RMS continuously, the D²PAK package requires a heatsink or ≥10 cm² of 2 oz copper pour to limit junction temperature within 125 °C. Thermal resistance data shows Rth(j-a) = 45 °C/W with 1 cm² copper, necessitating active or passive thermal management.
Can T835-600G replace a standard 4-quadrant triac in existing designs?
No-it is a 3-quadrant device and does not trigger in quadrant IV. Designs relying on negative gate pulses relative to A1 must be revalidated; gate drive circuits must ensure gate polarity remains positive during conduction to avoid misfiring or latch-up.
Is the D²PAK thermal pad electrically isolated?
No-the exposed thermal pad on the D²PAK package is internally connected to terminal A2 (MT2). Electrical isolation from the heatsink or PCB ground plane is mandatory unless A2 is intentionally held at system ground potential.
