Product details
Overview
TPDV825RG from STMicroelectronics is a 25 A RMS insulated triac in TOP3 package, rated for 825 V repetitive peak off-state voltage (VDRM/VRRM), with 150 mA gate trigger current (IGT) and 2 kV/µs noise immunity - designed for robust AC power control in three-phase inductive load circuits such as motor starters and heating systems.
For engineers reviewing the TPDV825RG datasheet, TPDV825RG pinout, TPDV825RG application, or TPDV825RG equivalent, this device supports high commutation (88 A/ms at 10 V/µs), low on-state voltage (1.8 V max at 35 A), and UL-recognized 2500 Vrms insulation - critical for industrial motor speed control and resistive heating system reliability.
Technical Context
The TPDV825RG is an alternistor-type triac optimized for three-phase AC power switching with enhanced commutation robustness. It operates across quadrants I, II, and III, supports 100 A/µs critical rate of rise of on-state current (dl/dt), and maintains ≥2000 V/µs dV/dt immunity at 125 °C junction temperature.
Its insulated TOP3 package enables direct mounting to heatsinks without isolation hardware, while its 1.5 °C/W (DC) junction-to-case thermal resistance supports sustained 25 A RMS conduction at 85 °C case temperature - validated under 50 Hz, 180° conduction angle conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| IT(RMS) | 25 A - Sustained RMS current handling at Tc = 85 °C, suitable for continuous motor starter duty cycles |
| VDRM / VRRM | 825 V - Repetitive peak off-state voltage rating, enabling use on 400 VAC three-phase grids with safety margin |
| IGT | 150 mA max - Gate trigger current requirement defines compatible driver strength (e.g., discrete BJT or opto-triac stage) |
| (dI/dt)c | 88 A/ms at 10 V/µs - Commutation capability ensures reliable turn-off under inductive load transients (e.g., fan motor back-EMF) |
| Rth(j-c) | 1.5 °C/W (DC) - Thermal resistance enables efficient heat transfer to heatsink, limiting junction rise to ≤37.5 °C at 25 A |
| VTM | 1.8 V max at 35 A - On-state voltage drop determines conduction loss (≈63 W at full load), guiding thermal design |
| VINS | 2500 Vrms - Reinforced insulation withstand rating (UL E81734) allows safe operation in grounded-chassis industrial enclosures |
Pinout & Package
TPDV825RG uses the insulated TOP3 package (21.1 × 15.5 × 4.6 mm), with creepage/clearance optimized for 2500 Vrms isolation between terminals and case. Mounting torque: 1.05 N·m (max 1.2 N·m).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A1 (MT1) | Main terminal 1 | Reference terminal for gate triggering; polarity-sensitive in quadrant-dependent firing |
| A2 (MT2) | Main terminal 2 | Current return path; voltage polarity relative to A1 determines conduction quadrant |
| G | Gate | Controls turn-on; requires ≥150 mA pulse with minimum 1.5 V threshold (VGT) to initiate conduction |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High commutation robustness | 88 A/ms at 10 V/µs - prevents false turn-off during fast inductive transients in motor control |
| UL-recognized insulation | 2500 Vrms (E81734) - eliminates need for external isolation barriers in Class I industrial equipment |
| Low on-state voltage | 1.8 V max at 35 A - reduces conduction losses by ~15% vs. legacy triacs, easing thermal management |
| Three-quadrant operation | Quadrants I, II, III only - suppresses unwanted triggering from negative gate pulses in noisy environments |
| High dV/dt immunity | ≥2000 V/µs at 125 °C - resists false triggering from line transients in unfiltered 400 VAC distribution |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar triac-based AC power control applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BTA26-800BWRG | 800 V VDRM, 25 A IT(RMS), non-insulated TO-220 package, no UL insulation rating | Requires external isolation hardware for chassis-grounded systems; lower dV/dt immunity (1000 V/µs) | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs insulation and noise immunity requirements |
| Q6025LH5 | 600 V VDRM, 25 A IT(RMS), insulated TO-220 package, 50 A/ms commutation | Limited to 230 VAC single-phase or 400 VAC with derating; insufficient for 400 VAC three-phase full-voltage operation | Use only in lower-voltage legacy designs where 825 V rating is not required |
Compared with BTA26-800BWRG and Q6025LH5, TPDV825RG uniquely combines 825 V blocking, 2500 Vrms insulation, and 88 A/ms commutation - making it the only option qualified for noise-immune, isolated, three-phase 400 VAC motor control without external snubbers or isolation barriers.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable case temperature for continuous 25 A RMS operation?
The datasheet specifies IT(RMS) = 25 A at Tc = 85 °C under 180° conduction angle and 50 Hz. Exceeding 85 °C case temperature requires derating per Figure 3; at 100 °C case, maximum sustainable RMS current drops to approximately 20 A due to thermal limits.
Does TPDV825RG support four-quadrant triggering?
No. TPDV825RG is a three-quadrant alternistor triac, operating only in quadrants I, II, and III. Quadrant IV triggering is intentionally blocked to improve noise immunity and prevent spurious turn-on from negative gate transients in electrically noisy environments.
Can TPDV825RG replace standard triacs in existing PCB layouts?
Yes, but only if the footprint matches TOP3 mechanical dimensions (21.1 × 15.5 mm) and mounting torque (1.05 N·m) is applied. Its insulated construction eliminates need for insulating washers, unlike non-insulated TO-220 triacs - potentially simplifying assembly.
What gate drive circuit is recommended for reliable triggering?
A gate driver delivering ≥150 mA peak current with ≥1.5 V compliance and <2.5 µs rise time (per tGT spec) is required. Optocoupler-based drivers like MOC3023 (with 33 Ω series resistor) or discrete BJT stages (e.g., BCX56 with 100 Ω base resistor) meet these requirements under 230–400 VAC line conditions.
