- High static dV/dt 

- High dynamic turn-off commutation (dl/dt)c 

- 150 °C maximum junction temperature 

- Three quadrants 

- Surge capability VDSM, VRSM = 900 V 

- Benefits: 

   - High immunity to false turn-on thanks to high static dV/dt 

      - Improved turn-off in high temperature environments thanks higher (dI/dt)c 

   - 

   - Increase of thermal margin due to extended working Tj up to 150 °C 

      - Good thermal resistance due to non-insulated tab. 

   - 

## **Applications** 

- General purpose AC line load switching 

- Motor control circuits 

- Home appliances 

- Heating 

- Lighting 

- Inrush current limiting circuits 

- Overvoltage crowbar protection

## **Description** 

Available in SMD, the T1620T-8G Triac can be used for the on/off or phase angle control function in general purpose AC switching where high commutation capability is required. The T1620T-8G can be used without a snubber RC circuit when the limits defined are respected. 

D[2] PAK package is UL-94,V0 flammability resin compliance. 

Package environmentally friendly Ecopack[®] 2 graded (RoHS and Halogen Free compliance). 

Snubberless™ is a trademark of STMicroelectronics.
