Description
The ACST1635-8FP belongs to the AC power switch range built with A.S.D.® technology. This high performance device is designed for home appliances or industrial systems and drives loads up to 16 A. This ACST1635-8FP switch embeds a Triac structure with a high voltage crowbar device to absorb the inductive turn-off energy and withstand line surges such as those described in the IEC 61000-4-5 (surge immunity test). A.S.D. is a registered trademark of STMicroelectronics COM OUT G TO-220FPAB ACST1635-8FP G COM OUT

Features
■ Enables equipment to meet IEC 61000-4-5 surge with overvoltage crowbar technology
■ High noise immunity against static dV/dt and IEC 61000-4-4 burst
■ High junction temperature: Tj = 150 °C
■ Needs no external over-voltage protection
■ VCL gives headroom before clamping then crowbar action
■ Reduces component count
■ ECOPACK®2 compliant component
■ Complies with UL standards (File ref: E81734)
■ Provides UL certified insulation rated at 1500 V rms

Applications
■ AC static switching in appliances and industrial control systems
■ Drive of medium power AC loads such as: – Coffee making appliances – Universal drum motor of washing machine – Compressor of fridge or air conditioner – Heating and cooking appliances – Vacuum cleaners – Solid state relays
