Product details
Overview
T835-8G-TR from STMicroelectronics is a snubberless 8 A, 600 V triac in D²PAK (TO-263) package, designed for phase-controlled AC switching in inductive loads. It features 35 mA maximum gate trigger current (IGT), 400 V/µs dV/dt immunity at 125 °C, and 50 A/µs critical di/dt rating - enabling robust commutation in motor speed controllers and heating regulation circuits without external snubbers.
For engineers reviewing the T835-8G-TR datasheet, T835-8G-TR pinout, T835-8G-TR application, or T835-8G-TR equivalent, key selection criteria include snubberless operation on inductive loads, logic-compatible gate drive (35 mA IGT), thermal resistance of 1.6 °C/W (junction-to-case), and D²PAK surface-mount compatibility with 1000-unit tape-and-reel packaging.
Technical Context
This triac operates in three quadrants (I, II, III) with snubberless commutation capability, optimized for high-noise industrial AC line environments. Its 400 V/µs dV/dt rating at 125 °C and 5.4 A/ms critical di/dt ensure reliable turn-off under inductive load transients without snubber networks.
The device uses a gate-triggered thyristor structure with integrated ceramic isolation in insulated variants (not applicable to T835-8G-TR), and its 1.55 V max on-state voltage (VTM) at 11 A and 25 °C supports low conduction loss in continuous-duty applications up to 125 °C junction temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| IT(RMS) | 8 A RMS on-state current - supports continuous 8 A AC load current at 110 °C case temperature |
| VDRM / VRRM | 600 V repetitive peak off-state voltage - rated for 230 VAC mains with ≥2× safety margin |
| IGT (max) | 35 mA gate trigger current - compatible with microcontroller GPIOs without buffer stage |
| dV/dt (min) | 400 V/µs at 125 °C - enables snubberless operation on inductive loads like motors and solenoids |
| Rth(j-c) | 1.6 °C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance - allows 8 A operation with minimal heatsinking at Tc ≤ 110 °C |
| VTM (max) | 1.55 V at 11 A, 25 °C - limits conduction loss to <17 W at full RMS current |
| (dl/dt)c (min) | 3.5 A/ms at 125 °C - ensures reliable commutation during zero-crossing turn-off in phase-control dimmers |
Pinout & Package
D²PAK (TO-263) surface-mount package with exposed drain tab (A2) for thermal and electrical connection; thermally enhanced layout requires ≥10 cm² copper pour per IPC-2221B Class B for rated IT(RMS).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A1 | Main Terminal 1 | AC line return path; connected to neutral or low-side AC rail in phase-control topology |
| A2 | Main Terminal 2 | High-current output terminal; electrically and thermally tied to exposed metal tab |
| G | Gate | Low-energy trigger input; 35 mA pulse sufficient for turn-on at 125 °C junction temperature |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Snubberless commutation | Validated 400 V/µs dV/dt immunity 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 MCU outputs without external driver |
| Three-quadrant operation | Guaranteed turn-on in quadrants I, II, and III - simplifies control circuitry vs. 4Q triacs |
| D²PAK thermal performance | 1.6 °C/W Rth(j-c) supports 8 A RMS with compact heatsink or PCB copper area only |
| ECOPACK2 compliance | Halogen-free molding compound, lead-free terminations, and RoHS/REACH conformity |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar triac-based AC switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BTA08-600BW | TO-220AB insulated package, 50 mA IGT, same 600 V/8 A rating | Requires heatsink mounting and higher gate drive; suited for through-hole legacy designs | Select when mechanical mounting constraints favor TO-220AB or UL-rated 2500 VRMS isolation is required |
| T850-6G-TR | D²PAK package, 50 mA IGT, 600 V/10 A rating, higher IT(RMS) | Higher current capacity but less gate sensitivity; needs stronger gate drive | Select when system requires >8 A RMS load current and gate drive can supply ≥50 mA |
Compared with BTA08-600BW, T835-8G-TR offers surface-mount assembly and lower gate drive demand; versus T850-6G-TR, it provides better gate sensitivity for MCU interfacing while sacrificing 2 A RMS headroom.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature for continuous operation of T835-8G-TR?
The T835-8G-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 the IT(RMS) derating curve in Figure 2, achievable with ≥10 cm² of 35 µm copper on FR4 PCB or minimal heatsinking.
Does T835-8G-TR require a snubber circuit for inductive loads?
No. As a snubberless triac, T835-8G-TR is characterized for 400 V/µs dV/dt immunity at 125 °C and 3.5 A/ms critical di/dt, enabling reliable commutation on inductive loads like motors and transformers without external RC snubbers - confirmed in Table 2 and Figure 9 of DS2114.
Can T835-8G-TR be driven directly by a 3.3 V microcontroller GPIO?
Yes. With a maximum gate trigger current (IGT) of 35 mA at 25 °C and 1.2 V gate trigger voltage (VGT), the T835-8G-TR is compatible with standard 3.3 V or 5 V MCU outputs. A series resistor (e.g., 100 Ω) limits peak gate current to safe levels during triggering.
What is the thermal resistance from junction to ambient for T835-8G-TR in typical PCB layout?
In a typical FR4 PCB layout with 1 cm² copper area under the D²PAK tab, the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (Rth(j-a)) is 45 °C/W (per Table 5). This value improves significantly with larger copper pours - e.g., 10 cm² reduces Rth(j-a) to ~15 °C/W, enabling higher sustained current.
