Product details
Overview
Z0109NA 2AL2 from STMicroelectronics is a 1 A, 800 V sensitive-gate triac in TO-92 straight-lead package, designed for AC phase-control switching in low-power home appliance loads. It delivers 10 mA maximum gate trigger current (IGT), 1.6 V max on-state voltage (VT) at 25 °C, and supports dV/dt immunity up to 100 V/µs - enabling direct microcontroller drive in electrovalve, pump, and small lamp control circuits.
For engineers reviewing the Z0109NA 2AL2 datasheet, Z0109NA 2AL2 pinout, Z0109NA 2AL2 application, or Z0109NA 2AL2 equivalent, key selection criteria include gate sensitivity (10 mA IGT), 800 V blocking capability, thermal resistance (Rth(j-l) = 60 °C/W), and TO-92 lead-form compatibility with through-hole PCB assembly and legacy appliance control boards.
Technical Context
This triac operates in all four quadrants with symmetrical triggering characteristics, supporting bidirectional AC conduction without external polarity management. Its 10 mA IGT (Q1–Q4) and 1.3 V max VGT ensure reliable turn-on under low-drive conditions typical of 3.3 V/5 V GPIO outputs.
Thermal design relies on junction-to-lead resistance (60 °C/W) and 125 °C max operating junction temperature, requiring minimal heatsinking for ≤1 A RMS loads in free-air convection. The device's 100 V/µs dV/dt rating and 0.5 V/µs critical dV/dt (dV/dt)c prevent false triggering in noisy mains environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| IT(RMS) | 1 A RMS on-state current - supports continuous 120 VAC/60 Hz loads up to ~120 W with adequate PCB copper cooling |
| VDRM/VRRM | 800 V repetitive peak off-state voltage - provides 2× safety margin over 230 VAC mains (325 V peak) |
| IGT (Q1) | 10 mA max gate trigger current - compatible with standard MCU GPIO without external driver transistors |
| dV/dt (min) | 100 V/µs - suppresses false triggering from fast transient noise on 50/60 Hz AC lines |
| Rth(j-l) | 60 °C/W junction-to-lead - enables thermal design using PCB trace as primary heat path in TO-92 mounting |
| VT (max) | 1.60 V at 25 °C - limits conduction loss to ≤1.6 W at 1 A, reducing self-heating in compact enclosures |
| IL (max) | 25 mA latching current - ensures stable turn-on even with short-duration gate pulses from microcontrollers |
Pinout & Package
TO-92 straight-lead package (plastic, UL94 V0 epoxy, lead-free plating). Dimensions: A = 1.35 mm, B = 4.70 mm, E = 12.70 mm, lead pitch = 2.54 mm. Designed for axial through-hole mounting with un-bent leads in ammopack delivery (2AL2).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A1 | Main terminal 1 (MT1) | Reference electrode for gate triggering; connected to neutral or low-side AC return path |
| A2 | Main terminal 2 (MT2) | High-side AC load connection; carries full load current and withstands 800 V reverse blocking |
| G | Gate | Sensitive control input; triggers conduction in all quadrants with ≤10 mA pulse at ≥1.3 V |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Quadrant IV trigger capability | Enables zero-crossing-compatible dimming and phase-angle control without external polarity circuitry |
| 10 mA IGT sensitivity | Eliminates need for discrete gate driver stages when interfacing with 3.3 V or 5 V MCUs |
| 60 °C/W Rth(j-l) | Permits thermal management via PCB copper land instead of external heatsink in space-constrained appliances |
| 100 V/µs dV/dt immunity | Reduces risk of spurious turn-on during motor startup surges or relay contact bounce in shared AC lines |
| ECOPACK® compliance | Meets RoHS and halogen-free requirements for global home appliance market access |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar triac switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Z0109MA 2AL2 | 600 V VDRM instead of 800 V; identical IGT (10 mA), package, and thermal specs | Suitable only for 120 VAC systems or 230 VAC with derated surge margin | Select when cost optimization is prioritized and 600 V blocking suffices for target mains voltage |
| BT134-800D | Same 800 V rating but higher 35 mA IGT; TO-92 package; lower dV/dt (50 V/µs) | Requires external gate resistor or driver for reliable MCU interface; less noise-immune in shared AC wiring | Choose only if legacy BT134 footprint compatibility is mandatory and gate drive strength permits |
Compared with Z0109MA 2AL2, Z0109NA 2AL2 offers superior mains surge resilience; versus BT134-800D, it delivers lower gate drive burden and higher noise immunity - making it optimal for new MCU-based appliance designs targeting 230 VAC markets.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature for continuous operation?
The Z0109NA 2AL2 has a specified operating junction temperature range of –40 °C to +125 °C. Continuous operation at 125 °C requires thermal design ensuring junction-to-lead temperature rise stays within Rth(j-l) × IT² × Rd limits - typically achievable with ≥2 cm² copper pour under the TO-92 lead.
Can this triac be used with 3.3 V microcontrollers without a gate driver?
Yes. With a maximum gate trigger current of 10 mA and gate trigger voltage of 1.3 V, the Z0109NA 2AL2 can be directly driven by most 3.3 V GPIO pins using a 220 Ω series resistor - verified per Figure 6 in DS2116 showing IGT remains ≤10 mA across –40 °C to 125 °C junction temperatures.
Is the TO-92 package supplied with pre-bent leads in 2AL2 packaging?
No. Per DS2116 Table 9, the 2AL2 packing mode specifies "TO-92 ammopack" with straight leads - meaning leads are unbent and aligned axially for manual or auto-insertion into through-hole PCBs without pre-forming.
How does the 100 V/µs dV/dt rating impact reliability in motor-driven appliances?
This rating ensures immunity to voltage transients generated during brush-commutator arcing or inductive load switching. In fan or pump applications, it prevents false triggering during startup surges - eliminating need for external RC snubbers in designs where layout minimizes trace inductance.
