Product details
Overview
T835H-6I from STMicroelectronics is a high-temperature, snubberless 8 A triac in insulated TO-220AB package, rated for 600 V repetitive peak off-state voltage (VDRM/VRRM), 35 mA maximum gate trigger current (IGT), and operation up to 150 °C junction temperature. It delivers robust 3-quadrant commutation and low thermal resistance (Rth(j-c) = 3.7 °C/W), enabling compact motor control in vacuum cleaners and washing machine drum drives.
For engineers reviewing the T835H-6I datasheet, T835H-6I pinout, T835H-6I application, or T835H-6I equivalent, this part supports high-density AC mains switching with verified 1000 V/µs dV/dt immunity at 150 °C, 11 A/ms critical turn-off di/dt, and UL-certified insulation - key for universal motor drive reliability and heatsink reduction.
Technical Context
This triac operates without external snubbers across all four quadrants, leveraging internal design optimizations for high commutation robustness at elevated junction temperatures. Its 3.7 °C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance and ceramic-insulated TO-220AB package enable stable 8 A RMS conduction under sustained 150 °C Tj conditions.
The device sustains 1000 V/µs critical rate of rise of off-state voltage (dV/dt) and 11 A/ms critical rate of decrease of on-state current (di/dt)c at Tj = 150 °C - parameters validated for direct replacement of legacy triacs in high-noise, high-dI/dt universal motor loads.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| IT(RMS) | 8 A RMS on-state current at TC = 116 °C - supports continuous motor load switching without derating in compact enclosures. |
| VDRM / VRRM | 600 V - withstands peak mains voltage (≈424 V) with 176 V margin, suitable for global 230 VAC and 120 VAC systems. |
| IGT (max) | 35 mA - low gate drive requirement compatible with standard microcontroller GPIO or optocoupler outputs. |
| (dV/dt)c (min) | 1000 V/µs at Tj = 150 °C - eliminates false triggering in noisy motor commutation environments. |
| (di/dt)c (min) | 11 A/ms at Tj = 150 °C - ensures reliable turn-off during rapid current decay in universal motor brush arcs. |
| Rth(j-c) | 3.7 °C/W - enables efficient heat transfer to heatsink, reducing thermal interface material dependency and footprint. |
| Isolation Voltage | 2500 VRMS - certified reinforced insulation per UL E81734, allowing safe integration in Class I appliances. |
Pinout & Package
Package: TO-220AB Insulated - epoxy-molded, lead-free, UL94 V0 rated, with electrically isolated metal tab (A2) for direct heatsink mounting without insulating washers.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A1 | Main Terminal 1 | Reference terminal for gate triggering; connected to load return path in phase-control circuits. |
| A2 | Main Terminal 2 | Isolated high-side power input; electrically separated from mounting tab for safe heatsink coupling. |
| G | Gate | Low-energy control input; triggers conduction when referenced to A1, enabling full-wave AC switching. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Snubberless 3-quadrant operation | Eliminates external RC snubber components in universal motor phase-angle control, reducing BOM count and PCB area. |
| 150 °C max. Tj turn-off commutation | Guarantees reliable zero-crossing turn-off even under sustained overload or poor ventilation, extending system lifetime. |
| Low Rth(j-c) = 3.7 °C/W | Reduces required heatsink size by ~40% vs. standard TO-220AB triacs, enabling higher power density in appliance designs. |
| UL certification (E81734) | Validated reinforced insulation allows direct use in safety-critical Class I household appliances without additional isolation barriers. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| BTB16-600BW | 16 A rating, TO-220AB non-insulated, 50 mA IGT, Rth(j-c) = 1.5 °C/W | Requires external insulator for chassis mounting; higher current capacity but larger heatsink needed for same thermal margin | Select when higher surge current (ITSM = 160 A) is required and isolation can be added externally. |
| Q6008LH4 | 8 A, TO-220AB insulated, 50 mA IGT, 1500 V/µs dV/dt, no UL certification | Lacks UL E81734 listing; lower gate sensitivity increases driver complexity in low-power MCU designs | Prefer where dV/dt margin is prioritized over safety certification and gate drive simplicity. |
Compared with BTB16-600BW and Q6008LH4, T835H-6I uniquely balances UL-certified insulation, low 35 mA IGT, and 1000 V/µs dV/dt at 150 °C - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, safety-compliant appliance motor controls where gate drive efficiency and thermal compactness are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature for continuous operation of T835H-6I?
The T835H-6I is rated for continuous operation up to 150 °C junction temperature, with absolute maximum ratings confirmed in Table 2 of ST's DocID13564 Rev 4. This allows full 8 A RMS conduction at case temperatures up to 116 °C when mounted on an adequately sized heatsink, as validated by Figure 2 in the datasheet.
Does T835H-6I require a snubber circuit in universal motor applications?
No - T835H-6I is explicitly designed as a snubberless triac, with verified 3-quadrant commutation capability and 1000 V/µs dV/dt immunity at 150 °C. ST's application guidance confirms elimination of external RC snubbers in vacuum cleaner and washing machine motor drives, reducing component count and EMI filtering requirements.
How does the insulated TO-220AB package affect PCB layout and thermal design?
The insulated TO-220AB package provides 2500 VRMS isolation between the A2 terminal and the metal tab, allowing direct mechanical attachment to grounded heatsinks without insulating pads or hardware. This simplifies thermal path design while maintaining safety compliance, though PCB copper area under the tab must still meet creepage/clearance requirements per IEC 60335.
Can T835H-6I replace T850H-6I in existing designs?
Yes - both share identical package, voltage rating (600 V), thermal specs, and insulation. The only difference is gate trigger current: T835H-6I has max IGT = 35 mA versus 50 mA for T850H-6I. Substituting T835H-6I offers lower gate drive burden and improved noise immunity, provided the existing driver can source ≥35 mA reliably.
