Product details

The STMicroelectronics T1610T-8FP is a single logic-level sensitive-gate triac rated for 800 V off-state voltage and 16 A RMS on-state current.

Sensitive gate — direct logic drive

With a maximum gate trigger current of 10 mA and gate trigger voltage of 1.3 V, this triac qualifies as logic-level sensitive gate. The 15 mA holding current is standard for a 16 A device.

No end-of-life notification is on record.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy T1610T-8FP available via RFQ confirmation?

The T1610T-8FP is sourced to order through independent distribution. Submit an RFQ for current stock levels and pricing — availability is confirmed at quote time.

What is the T1610T-8FP equivalent part?

The closest functional peer in the same family is the T1210T-8FP, which shares the same 800 V off-state rating and TO-220FP package but is rated for 12 A RMS instead of 16 A. For a lower-voltage alternative, the T1605G-6I offers 600 V off-state and 16 A RMS in a similar through-hole package.

Can T1610T-8FP be used for dimmer circuits?

Yes. The sensitive gate (10 mA Igt, 1.3 V Vgt) allows direct drive from a microcontroller or optocoupler, making it well suited for phase-control dimmers and light-level controllers. The 800 V off-state rating covers 230 VAC mains with margin.

Can I use T1610T-8FP for AC motor control?

Yes, for small AC motors up to about 3 kW on 230 VAC. The 16 A RMS continuous rating and 120 A / 126 A surge capability handle motor inrush. The -40°C to 125°C junction temperature range suits motor-drive environments.

Is T1610T-8FP compatible with 5V logic?

Yes. The maximum gate trigger voltage of 1.3 V and trigger current of 10 mA are well within the drive capability of a 5 V logic output or a standard optocoupler. No additional driver stage is needed.
