Product details
Overview
Z0405NF from STMicroelectronics is a 4 A, 800 V RMS sensitive-gate triac in TO-202-3 package, with 5 mA gate trigger current (IGT), 2.0 V on-state voltage (VTM), and 20 A non-repetitive surge rating-designed for AC load switching in home appliance electrovalves, pump controls, and fan speed regulators.
For engineers reviewing the Z0405NF datasheet, Z0405NF pinout, Z0405NF application, or Z0405NF equivalent, key selection criteria include gate sensitivity (5 mA), dV/dt immunity (100 V/µs), thermal resistance (15 °C/W junction-to-lead), and compatibility with direct microcontroller drive in low-power AC control circuits.
Technical Context
This triac operates in all four quadrants (I–IV) with guaranteed triggering at 5 mA IGT under standard test conditions (VD = 12 V, RL = 30 Ω). It features a 100 V/µs critical rate of rise of off-state voltage (dV/dt) at Tj = 110 °C and supports full-cycle sinusoidal conduction up to 4 A RMS at 25 °C ambient.
Its latching current (IL) is 10 mA and holding current (IH) is 5 mA at 25 °C, enabling reliable turn-on and sustained conduction in resistive and moderately inductive loads. The device uses planar passivated silicon technology and meets ECOPACK® environmental compliance with lead-free interconnects.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| IT(RMS) | 4 A - Sustained AC load current capability at 25 °C ambient with proper heatsinking |
| VDRM / VRRM | 800 V - Peak repetitive off-state blocking voltage in both directions |
| IGT (Q1) | 5 mA - Gate trigger current enabling direct drive from 3.3 V/5 V microcontrollers |
| dV/dt (min) | 100 V/µs - Immunity to false triggering from fast-rising line transients |
| VTM | 2.0 V - On-state voltage drop at 5.5 A, defining conduction loss and thermal design margin |
| Rth(j-l) | 15 °C/W - Junction-to-lead thermal resistance, critical for PCB copper pour sizing |
| I²t (fusing) | 2.2 A²s - Single-pulse energy withstand before failure, used for fuse coordination |
Pinout & Package
TO-202-3 package: insulated plastic case with three leads (A1, A2, G), lead-free ECOPACK® compliant, 0.8 g unit weight, tube packaging (50 pcs/tube).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A1 | Main terminal 1 (MT1) | Reference electrode for gate triggering; connected to neutral or low-side AC line |
| A2 | Main terminal 2 (MT2) | High-side AC load connection; polarity determines quadrant operation |
| G | Gate | Control input requiring ≥5 mA pulse to initiate conduction in any quadrant |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Quadrant IV operation | Enables triggering with negative gate-to-A1 voltage, supporting phase-control dimming with standard optotriac drivers |
| ECOPACK® compliance | Lead-free second-level interconnect and JEDEC JESD97 marking for RoHS-conforming industrial manufacturing |
| Low IGT (5 mA) | Reduces gate driver power requirement and enables use of low-current GPIO pins without buffer transistors |
| 100 V/µs dV/dt rating | Prevents spurious turn-on during zero-crossing switching in noisy 50/60 Hz mains environments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar triac switching applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| BT136-600D | 4 A IT(RMS), 600 V VDRM, 5 mA IGT, TO-220 package | Lower voltage rating; requires derating in 230 VAC systems with high line surges | Select when board space permits TO-220 and 600 V blocking suffices |
| MAC97A6 | 4 A IT(RMS), 600 V VDRM, 10 mA IGT, TO-92 package | Higher IGT demands gate buffer; smaller package limits thermal performance | Choose only for ultra-low-cost, low-power, non-surge-prone applications |
Compared with BT136-600D and MAC97A6, Z0405NF offers superior 800 V blocking margin and TO-202-3 thermal performance (15 °C/W vs. ~50 °C/W for TO-92), making it optimal for robust, space-constrained 230 VAC appliance designs requiring microcontroller-direct drive.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature for continuous operation?
The Z0405NF has an operating junction temperature range of –40 °C to +125 °C. Continuous operation at the upper limit requires thermal design ensuring junction temperature does not exceed 125 °C under worst-case ambient and load conditions, verified using Rth(j-l) = 15 °C/W and measured power dissipation.
Can Z0405NF be triggered directly from a 3.3 V microcontroller GPIO?
Yes-its 5 mA maximum IGT at 25 °C and 1.3 V maximum VGT allow reliable triggering using a 3.3 V GPIO with a series resistor ≤ 560 Ω. At elevated temperatures, IGT may increase slightly; design margin should include worst-case IGT of 7 mA per Figure 4.
Is heatsinking required for 4 A RMS operation?
Heatsinking is required for sustained 4 A RMS operation above 25 °C ambient. With Rth(j-l) = 15 °C/W and VTM ≈ 2.0 V, power dissipation reaches ~8 W-exceeding the 0.2 W PG(AV) gate limit and demanding PCB copper area or external heatsink to maintain Tj ≤ 125 °C.
Does Z0405NF support snubberless operation?
Z0405NF is not rated as snubberless. Its (dV/dt)c minimum of 0.5 V/µs (at 1.8 A/ms dI/dt) indicates susceptibility to commutation dv/dt-induced turn-off failure; a snubber network (RC across MT1–MT2) is recommended for inductive loads like motors and transformers.
