Product details
Overview
T835T-8G from STMicroelectronics is a Snubberless™ D²PAK-packaged triac rated for 8 A RMS on-state current, 800 V repetitive peak off-state voltage (VDRM/VRRM), and 900 V non-repetitive surge voltage (VDSM/VRSM), designed for phase-angle and on/off AC line switching in motor control, heating, and lighting circuits with high commutation demands.
For engineers reviewing the T835T-8G datasheet, T835T-8G pinout, T835T-8G application, or T835T-8G equivalent, key selection criteria include static dV/dt immunity (≥1000 V/µs at 150 °C), critical turn-off di/dt (≥4 A/ms at 150 °C), three-quadrant triggering, 150 °C maximum junction temperature, and snubberless operation under defined voltage/current slew limits.
Technical Context
The T835T-8G is a three-quadrant, gate-triggered bidirectional thyristor optimized for high-temperature, high-commutation AC switching. Its design supports reliable turn-on in Quadrants I, II, and III with gate trigger current ≤35 mA and gate trigger voltage ≤1.3 V at 25 °C, while maintaining ≥0.2 V gate-to-cathode blocking capability up to 150 °C.
It delivers robust dynamic performance: static dV/dt immunity ≥1000 V/µs at Tj = 150 °C and critical turn-off di/dt ≥4 A/ms at same temperature-enabling snubberless operation in inductive loads like motors and transformers when voltage and current transients remain within specified limits.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| IT(RMS) | 8 A - Maximum continuous AC load current at Tc = 128 °C, defining thermal derating envelope for PCB-mounted designs. |
| VDRM / VRRM | 800 V at Tj = 125 °C - Peak repetitive blocking voltage across main terminals, enabling use in 230 VAC mains with safety margin. |
| VDSM / VRSM | 900 V - Non-repetitive surge withstand capability, supporting transient overvoltage protection in crowbar applications. |
| IGT | ≤35 mA - Maximum gate trigger current required for reliable turn-on in all three quadrants, simplifying driver design. |
| dV/dt (static) | ≥1000 V/µs at Tj = 150 °C - Immunity to false triggering from rapid voltage transients, critical in noisy industrial environments. |
| (dl/dt)c | ≥4 A/ms at Tj = 150 °C - Minimum rate of current decrease during turn-off without commutation failure, enabling snubberless inductive load control. |
| Rth(j-c) | ≤1.9 °C/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance in D²PAK package, supporting high-power dissipation with minimal heatsink requirement. |
Pinout & Package
The T835T-8G is housed in a surface-mount D²PAK (TO-263) package with an electrically insulated tab (non-insulated per datasheet note), UL 94 V0 flammability rating, and Ecopack®2 compliance (RoHS + halogen-free).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A1 | Anode 1 | Main terminal 1; referenced as cathode in Quadrant III triggering; forms bidirectional conduction path with A2. |
| A2 | Anode 2 | Main terminal 2; polarity reference for gate triggering in Quadrants I and II; carries full load current during conduction. |
| G | Gate | Control input for triggering; enables turn-on in all three quadrants with low-current pulse (≤35 mA); referenced to A1. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Snubberless™ operation | Validated for inductive loads without external RC snubber when dV/dt < 20 V/µs and (dl/dt)c > 20 V/µs, reducing BOM count and board space. |
| Three-quadrant triggering | Enables gate control in Quadrants I, II, and III-eliminating need for reverse-polarity gate drivers in AC phase-control topologies. |
| 150 °C max junction temperature | Extends thermal operating margin beyond standard 125 °C triacs, allowing higher power density and reduced heatsinking in compact enclosures. |
| High static dV/dt immunity | ≥1000 V/µs at 150 °C ensures immunity to EMI-induced false turn-on in motor drives and appliance EMI environments. |
| D²PAK thermal performance | Rth(j-c) ≤1.9 °C/W enables 8 A RMS operation with modest heatsinking-superior to TO-220 equivalents in SMT thermal management. |
Applications
| Motor Control | Heating Control |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| BTA16-800BWRG | 16 A IT(RMS), TO-220 package, 800 V VDRM, two-quadrant gate, no snubberless certification | Higher current rating but requires external snubber for inductive loads; larger footprint and lower thermal efficiency than D²PAK | Select when higher current headroom is needed and through-hole mounting is acceptable; avoid where snubberless operation or SMT assembly is mandatory. |
| BTB16-800BWRG | 16 A IT(RMS), insulated TO-220 package, 800 V VDRM, two-quadrant gate, no snubberless certification | Includes isolated tab for direct heatsink mounting but lacks three-quadrant triggering and high-temperature dV/dt specs | Prefer for isolated mounting in high-voltage isolation schemes; not suitable for snubberless or high-EMI motor control where T835T-8G's dV/dt and (dl/dt)c are critical. |
Compared with BTA16-800BWRG and BTB16-800BWRG, the T835T-8G trades higher current rating for superior SMT integration, verified snubberless operation, three-quadrant control, and guaranteed dV/dt/(dl/dt)c performance at 150 °C-making it optimal for compact, thermally constrained, and EMI-prone AC switching designs.

FAQ
Is the T835T-8G truly snubberless, and under what conditions?
Yes-the T835T-8G is certified Snubberless™ per ST's characterization. It operates reliably without an external RC snubber when the applied dV/dt remains below 20 V/µs and the critical turn-off di/dt exceeds 20 V/µs. These limits are validated across its full 150 °C junction temperature range and apply to inductive loads such as motors and transformers.
What does "three-quadrant" triggering mean for this triac?
Three-quadrant triggering means the T835T-8G can be turned on with gate pulses applied between G and A1 in Quadrants I (A2+, G+), II (A2−, G+), and III (A2−, G−). This eliminates the need for polarity-reversal circuitry in AC phase-control designs, simplifying driver design and improving reliability versus two-quadrant alternatives.
Can the T835T-8G replace older triacs like the T835-800 in existing designs?
Yes-with caveats. The T835T-8G offers identical voltage/current ratings and improved thermal capability (150 °C vs. 125 °C), but uses a D²PAK package instead of TO-220. PCB layout and thermal pad design must be updated; gate drive requirements are similar (IGT ≤35 mA), but snubberless operation may allow removal of existing RC networks if dV/dt constraints are met.
Does the D²PAK package have an electrically insulated tab?
No-the D²PAK package used in the T835T-8G has a non-insulated tab, meaning the drain (A2) is electrically connected to the exposed metal pad. This requires careful PCB isolation design: the thermal pad must be routed to A2 potential or fully insulated with dielectric material if mounted to a common heatsink shared with other circuits.
