The ACST8-8CG is an overvoltage protected AC power switch from STMicroelectronics, packaged in a D2PAK. It belongs to the ASD (Application Specific Discrete) family and integrates a Triac structure with a high voltage clamping device to absorb inductive turn-off energy. The device supports an RMS on-state current of 8A at Tcase = 100°C and withstands repetitive peak off-state voltages up to 800V. It features high noise immunity with a static dV/dt greater than 750 V/µs and requires no external overvoltage protection.
Verify the specific package type matches the design requirements, as the ACST8 series is available in TO-220FPAB, TO-220AB, and D2PAK configurations. Confirm that the thermal management strategy aligns with the specified case temperature limits for the 8A rating. Ensure the gate triggering circuitry meets the required current specifications for reliable operation under varying load conditions.
Select this component for applications requiring robust handling of inductive loads without additional snubber circuits. The integrated avalanche capability simplifies designs by managing line transients directly within the device. Consider the D2PAK package for surface-mount assembly needs while ensuring adequate copper pad area for heat dissipation to maintain performance at higher ambient temperatures.
The ACST8-8CG is part of the broader ACST8 series, which includes variants like ACST8-8CFP and ACST8-8CT. These devices share the same core ASD technology and electrical characteristics but differ in packaging. The series is designed for medium-power induction motor drives in household appliances, offering a compact solution for AC switching applications with integrated protection features.
Direct substitutes include other ACST8 series variants such as ACST8-8CFP (TO-220FPAB) and ACST8-8CT (TO-220AB), provided the package form factor is compatible with the PCB layout.
