6 A RMS, 800 V off-state — AC load switching in a TO-220
The STMicroelectronics T610T-8T is a logic-level triac rated for 6 A RMS on-state current and 800 V off-state voltage, housed in a TO-220 through-hole package. The sensitive gate (10 mA max Igt) allows direct triggering from a microcontroller or ASIC I/O without an external driver transistor.
Surge and gate drive margins
Non-repetitive surge current is 45 A at 50 Hz and 47 A at 60 Hz — this covers the inrush from incandescent lamp loads or capacitive power supplies without exceeding the device's peak current capability. Maximum gate trigger voltage is 1.3 V, and the hold current is 15 mA max.
