Yup even if the snubber method is recommend, ST do some Snubberness one. I actually test them running few 10 AMP inductive load without any snubber. As now, since 2 weeks, no problem, no fire, no temperature raising seems quite stable... as now

Look the datasheet

Anybody else here already tried and got success with those St Snubberness BTA/BTB series without snubber??
