Product details
Overview
T850H-6G from STMicroelectronics is a high-temperature, snubberless 8 A, 600 V Triac in D²PAK package, rated for 150 °C junction operation with 50 mA gate trigger current (IGT), 1000 V/µs dV/dt immunity at 150 °C, and 11 A/ms critical commutation current (dI/dt)c - designed for universal motor control in vacuum cleaners and washing machine drum drives.
For engineers reviewing the T850H-6G datasheet, T850H-6G pinout, T850H-6G application, or T850H-6G equivalent, key selection criteria include high-temperature commutation capability, low thermal resistance (1.85 °C/W j-c), insulated voltage rating (2500 VRMS), and snubberless operation in high-density AC switching circuits.
Technical Context
This Triac operates in all three quadrants without external snubbers, leveraging internal ceramic insulation and clip-bonding to achieve 1.85 °C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance and stable turn-off commutation up to 150 °C. Its 1000 V/µs dV/dt rating at elevated temperature ensures robust noise immunity in mains-connected motor drives.
The device delivers 8 A RMS on-state current at TC = 133 °C in D²PAK, with on-state voltage as low as 0.80 V (Vt₀) and dynamic resistance of 52 mΩ at 150 °C - enabling reduced conduction losses and smaller heatsinks versus conventional Triacs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| IT(RMS) | 8 A RMS - supports continuous 1.8 kW resistive load at 230 VAC with appropriate heatsinking |
| VDRM / VRRM | 600 V - withstands peak mains voltage (≈325 V) with >85 % margin for surge transients |
| IGT (max) | 50 mA - compatible with standard microcontroller GPIO or low-power driver ICs without buffer stages |
| dV/dt (min) | 1000 V/µs at Tj = 150 °C - eliminates need for RC snubber in most universal motor phase-control applications |
| (dI/dt)c (min) | 11 A/ms at Tj = 150 °C - enables reliable commutation during zero-crossing switching of inductive loads |
| Rth(j-c) | 1.85 °C/W - allows direct mounting to PCB copper pour or compact heatsink for thermal management |
| Isolation Voltage | 2500 VRMS - meets reinforced insulation requirements for Class I appliances per IEC 60335 |
Pinout & Package
D²PAK (TO-263) package with isolated tab, epoxy molded, lead-free terminations, UL certified (E81734), RoHS compliant. Tab is electrically connected to A2 terminal.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A1 | Main Terminal 1 | Reference terminal for gate triggering; connects to load return side in standard phase-control topology |
| A2 | Main Terminal 2 | High-side main terminal; electrically tied to insulated metal tab for thermal conduction and isolation |
| G | Gate | Control input requiring ≥50 mA pulse to trigger conduction in all quadrants; referenced to A1 |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Snubberless operation | Eliminates external RC network in 95 % of universal motor phase-control designs, reducing BOM count and board space |
| 150 °C max. Tj commutation | Enables full 8 A RMS rating in compact enclosures where ambient + self-heating exceeds 100 °C |
| Low Rth(j-c) = 1.85 °C/W | Reduces required heatsink mass by ~40 % vs. TO-220AB Triacs under identical thermal conditions |
| 3-quadrant high commutation | Supports leading-edge and trailing-edge dimming topologies without gate polarity constraints |
| 2500 VRMS isolation | Permits direct integration into primary-side control circuits without additional barrier components |
Applications

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| BTB16-600CW | 16 A rating, TO-220 package, 50 mA IGT, but only rated to 125 °C Tj and requires snubber in >100 °C environments | Larger footprint and higher thermal mass; unsuitable for ultra-compact, high-ambient designs | Select when higher current headroom is needed and board space allows TO-220 mounting |
| T850H-6T | Same die, TO-220AB package (non-insulated), Rth(j-c) = 1.85 °C/W, but lacks 2500 VRMS isolation | Requires external insulation barrier for safety-critical primary-side use | Select when isolation is handled at system level (e.g., optocoupler + heatsink isolation) and cost is prioritized |
Compared with BTB16-600CW and T850H-6T, the T850H-6G uniquely combines D²PAK surface-mount compatibility, reinforced 2500 VRMS isolation, and guaranteed 150 °C commutation - making it optimal for space-constrained, safety-certified, high-temperature motor control.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature for reliable commutation?
The T850H-6G is fully characterized for turn-off commutation up to 150 °C junction temperature, with minimum (dI/dt)c = 11 A/ms and dV/dt = 1000 V/µs guaranteed at that condition - enabling operation in sealed, high-ambient environments without derating.
Does the D²PAK package provide electrical isolation between the tab and terminals?
Yes - the D²PAK variant (T850H-6G) incorporates an internal ceramic pad providing 2500 VRMS isolation between the metal tab (A2) and the PCB mounting surface, satisfying reinforced insulation requirements per IEC 60335 for Class I appliances.
Can T850H-6G replace T835H-6G in existing designs?
Yes - both share identical package, voltage rating, and thermal specs, but T850H-6G has higher IGT (50 mA vs. 35 mA), requiring verification that the gate drive circuit can deliver sufficient current; otherwise, no layout or thermal changes are needed.
Is a heatsink required for 8 A RMS operation?
Yes - at 8 A RMS and 230 VAC, power dissipation exceeds 2 W; with Rth(j-c) = 1.85 °C/W, a heatsink or ≥25 cm² 70 µm copper pour is required to maintain Tj ≤ 150 °C at 60 °C ambient, per Figure 2 in the datasheet.
