Product details
Overview
T850H-6G-TR from STMicroelectronics is a high-temperature, snubberless 8 A, 600 V RMS triac in D²PAK surface-mount package, rated for 150 °C junction operation with 50 mA gate trigger current (IGT), 1500 V/µs critical dV/dt, and 14 A/ms commutation capability-designed for universal motor control in vacuum cleaners and washing machine drum drives.
For engineers reviewing the T850H-6G-TR datasheet, T850H-6G-TR pinout, T850H-6G-TR application, or T850H-6G-TR equivalent, this part supports high-power-density AC switching at elevated junction temperatures, requires thermal design for Rth(j-c) = 1.85 °C/W, and enables heatsink reduction versus conventional triacs in mains-powered motor loads.
Technical Context
This triac operates in all three quadrants without external snubbers, leveraging internal ceramic insulation (2500 VRMS isolation) and clip-bonded construction for low thermal resistance. Its 150 °C maximum junction temperature and 1000–1500 V/µs dV/dt rating enable reliable commutation under high dv/dt transients in inductive motor loads.
The device delivers 8 A RMS on-state current at TC = 133 °C, supports non-repetitive surge currents up to 84 A (60 Hz, 16.7 ms), and maintains stable latching (IL ≤ 60 mA) and holding (IH ≤ 75 mA) across its full -40 to +150 °C operating range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| IT(RMS) | 8 A - Sustained AC load current at TC = 133 °C, enabling compact thermal design in motor drive PCBs |
| VDRM / VRRM | 600 V - Peak repetitive blocking voltage, suitable for 230 VAC mains with safety margin |
| IGT | 50 mA max - Gate trigger current at 12 V, defining minimum driver strength required |
| dV/dt (Tj = 150 °C) | 1500 V/µs min - Immunity to false turn-on during fast voltage transients in noisy motor environments |
| (dI/dt)c | 14 A/ms min - Commutation robustness without snubber in universal motor commutation cycles |
| Rth(j-c) | 1.85 °C/W - Junction-to-case thermal resistance, enabling direct heatsink mounting via tab |
| Isolation Voltage | 2500 VRMS - Reinforced insulation between main terminals and heatsink, meeting basic safety requirements |
Pinout & Package
D²PAK (TO-263) surface-mount package with isolated copper tab (pin 3), thermally and electrically connected to A2. Standard 3-pin layout optimized for high-current conduction and PCB thermal relief.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A1 | Main Terminal 1 | Current return path; referenced to A2 in standard triac configuration; connects to load neutral or low-side |
| A2 | Main Terminal 2 | High-current input terminal; electrically and thermally tied to exposed metal tab for heatsinking |
| G | Gate | Control input; triggers conduction in all quadrants; requires ≥50 mA pulse for guaranteed turn-on |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Snubberless operation | Eliminates external RC snubber components in universal motor phase-control circuits, reducing BOM count and board space |
| 150 °C junction rating | Enables higher power density by allowing sustained operation at elevated temperatures where conventional triacs derate or fail |
| Low Rth(j-c) = 1.85 °C/W | Reduces thermal interface complexity-direct tab mounting achieves efficient heat transfer without thermal pads or paste in many applications |
| High 3-quadrant commutation | Ensures reliable turn-off during zero-crossing and reverse-polarity conduction in brushed AC motor commutation |
| UL certification (E81734) | Validates safety compliance for end-equipment certification in North American consumer appliances |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar triac 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 lacks snubberless certification | Requires external snubber in high-dV/dt motor loads; unsuitable for compact 150 °C thermal envelopes | Select when higher current headroom is needed and thermal constraints allow larger heatsink |
| T850H-6T | Same electrical specs, but TO-220AB through-hole package with lower Rth(j-c) = 1.85 °C/W (non-insulated) and no tape-and-reel packaging | Preferred for prototyping or low-volume through-hole assembly; not compatible with automated SMT lines | Select for manual assembly or when D²PAK footprint or reel logistics are incompatible with production line |
Compared with BTB16-600CW and T850H-6T, the T850H-6G-TR uniquely combines SMT manufacturability, 150 °C operation, and certified snubberless performance-making it optimal for high-volume, space-constrained, thermally aggressive motor control designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable case temperature for continuous 8 A RMS operation?
The T850H-6G-TR sustains 8 A RMS current at TC = 133 °C, per Table 2 of the datasheet. Exceeding this temperature requires derating per Figure 2. The device's 150 °C maximum junction temperature allows operation at elevated ambient conditions when heatsink design maintains TC ≤ 133 °C.
Does the D²PAK package provide electrical isolation between the tab and pins?
No-the D²PAK tab is electrically connected to A2 and is not isolated. For insulated mounting, use the TO-220AB Insulated variant (T850H-6I). The D²PAK's 2500 VRMS isolation refers to internal die-to-tab insulation, not pin-to-tab clearance.
Can T850H-6G-TR replace T835H-6G-TR in existing designs?
Yes-both share identical package, voltage, and current ratings, but T850H has higher IGT (50 mA vs. 35 mA) and improved dV/dt (1500 V/µs vs. 1000 V/µs). Gate drive must supply ≥50 mA; otherwise, marginal turn-on may occur. No layout change is needed.
Is UL certification valid for the T850H-6G-TR D²PAK package?
Yes-UL file E81734 covers the entire T835H/T850H family, including D²PAK variants. Certification applies to the device itself, not the package form factor alone; end-equipment still requires full system-level UL review.
