Product details
Overview
T835-800B-TR from STMicroelectronics is a snubberless 8 A, 800 V RMS triac in IPAK package, designed for AC phase control and switching in inductive loads. It features 35 mA maximum gate trigger current (IGT), 400 V/µs critical dV/dt at 125 °C, and 5.4 A/ms commutation capability without snubber. Used in motor speed controllers and heating regulation circuits requiring robust turn-off under reactive load conditions.
For engineers reviewing the T835-800B-TR datasheet, T835-800B-TR pinout, T835-800B-TR application, or T835-800B-TR equivalent, key selection criteria include snubberless commutation performance, logic-level gate drive compatibility, thermal resistance (Rth(j-c) = 1.6 °C/W), and IPAK surface-mount suitability for high-power density designs.
Technical Context
This triac operates in three quadrants (I, II, III) with snubberless commutation optimized for inductive loads. Its 400 V/µs dV/dt rating at 125 °C and 5.4 A/ms (dI/dt)c ensure reliable turn-off without external snubbers in motor starting and dimmer applications.
The device uses a ceramic-insulated structure enabling direct mounting to heatsinks, and its 35 mA IGT allows direct interfacing with microcontroller GPIOs without buffer stages. Junction-to-case thermal resistance is 1.6 °C/W, supporting 8 A RMS conduction at Tc = 110 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| IT(RMS) | 8 A RMS - supports continuous AC load current up to 8 A at case temperature ≤110 °C |
| VDRM / VRRM | 800 V - blocks 800 V peak off-state voltage in both directions, suitable for 230 VAC mains with safety margin |
| IGT (max) | 35 mA - gate trigger current sufficient for direct MCU GPIO drive (e.g., 3.3 V/5 V logic) |
| dV/dt (min) | 400 V/µs at 125 °C - enables reliable operation on inductive loads without snubber network |
| (dI/dt)c | 5.4 A/ms at 125 °C - ensures commutation stability during current zero-crossing in phase-control circuits |
| Rth(j-c) | 1.6 °C/W - allows efficient heat transfer to heatsink, enabling compact thermal design |
| VTM | 1.55 V at 11 A - low on-state voltage minimizes conduction losses and self-heating |
Pinout & Package
IPAK package (7-pin outline, tab-connected to A2); thermally enhanced surface-mount housing with insulated tab rated per UL E81734.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A1 | Main terminal 1 | AC line input or load return path; referenced to gate for triggering |
| A2 | Main terminal 2 / Tab | High-current output path; electrically connected to metal tab for heatsinking and thermal conduction |
| G | Gate | Control input; triggers conduction between A1 and A2 when pulsed with ≥35 mA (max) at ≥1.2 V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Snubberless commutation | Validated 400 V/µs dV/dt and 5.4 A/ms (dI/dt)c at 125 °C eliminates need for RC snubber on inductive loads |
| Logic-level gate drive | 35 mA max IGT enables direct interface with 3.3 V/5 V microcontrollers without external driver transistors |
| UL-certified insulated tab | 2500 VRMS isolation between tab (A2) and PCB mount surface per UL file E81734 |
| Halogen-free ECOPACK2 | DPAK/IPAK/D²PAK variants comply with RoHS and halogen-free standards (UL94 V0, lead-free plating) |
Applications
| Induction Motor Speed Control | Resistive Heating Regulation |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Variable-speed control of single-phase induction motors in HVAC blowers and pumps. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: AC power switch performing phase-angle control to adjust RMS voltage delivered to motor windings. Use Value: Snubberless operation prevents false triggering during back-EMF transients, eliminating snubber component count and board space. |
Use Scenario: Precise temperature maintenance in industrial ovens and soldering stations using resistive heating elements. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional AC switch modulating power via leading-edge phase control synchronized to zero-crossing detection. Use Value: 8 A RMS rating and 1.55 V VTM minimize conduction loss and thermal stress across full operating temperature range (−40 to +125 °C). |
| Light Dimming Systems | Static Relay Replacement |
|
Use Scenario: Mains-powered LED and incandescent lamp dimmers with smooth brightness adjustment. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-voltage AC switch triggered by microcontroller-generated gate pulses aligned to AC phase angle. Use Value: 800 V VDRM provides margin for 230 VAC surge events (e.g., lightning-induced transients), improving system reliability. |
Use Scenario: Solid-state replacement for electromechanical relays in PLC output modules and building automation panels. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fail-safe ON/OFF AC power switch controlled by isolated digital signal, with galvanic isolation via heatsink mounting. Use Value: IPAK package enables surface-mount assembly and direct heatsink attachment, reducing mechanical wear and contact bounce issues inherent in relay-based solutions. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar triac switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| T835-600B-TR | 600 V VDRM instead of 800 V; identical IGT (35 mA), package (IPAK), and snubberless rating | Suitable only for 120 VAC or 230 VAC systems with low surge risk; lacks margin for 230 VAC transient overvoltage | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs need for 800 V surge immunity in regulated environments |
| BTA08-800BW | TO-220AB insulated package; same 800 V/8 A rating but 50 mA IGT and higher Rth(j-c) = 2.5 °C/W | Requires through-hole assembly and larger heatsink; gate drive needs buffer stage due to higher IGT | Choose for legacy through-hole designs or where UL-rated insulated tab mounting is mandatory |
Compared with T835-800B-TR, T835-600B-TR trades voltage margin for cost, while BTA08-800BW sacrifices surface-mount efficiency and logic-level drive for mechanical insulation compliance-making the T835-800B-TR optimal for modern, space-constrained, microcontroller-driven AC control.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature for continuous operation?
The T835-800B-TR has an operating junction temperature range of −40 °C to +125 °C. Continuous operation at 125 °C requires maintaining case temperature ≤110 °C per absolute maximum ratings, achievable with proper heatsinking and airflow per Rth(j-c) = 1.6 °C/W.
Does this triac require a snubber circuit for inductive loads?
No. The T835-800B-TR is a snubberless triac with validated 400 V/µs dV/dt and 5.4 A/ms (dI/dt)c ratings at 125 °C, enabling reliable commutation on inductive loads like motors and transformers without external RC snubber networks.
Can the gate be driven directly from a 3.3 V microcontroller?
Yes. With a maximum IGT of 35 mA and VGT ≤1.2 V, the T835-800B-TR accepts direct gate drive from standard 3.3 V or 5 V GPIO pins. A series resistor (e.g., 100 Ω) limits peak current to ~33 mA at 3.3 V, staying within safe operating limits.
Is the IPAK package lead-free and RoHS compliant?
Yes. The T835-800B-TR IPAK package is ECOPACK2-compliant, featuring halogen-free molding compound meeting UL94 V0 and lead-free plating per RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU, with full documentation available in ST's DS2114 datasheet Rev 16.
