Default mass limit

hi, is there an actual name for the mass limit that a planet must achieve
beyond which it will collapse and become a star?

i studied astrophysics many years ago and seemed to remember there was, or
am I becoming confused with the chandraseka (spelling may be well off there)
limit for a black hole?

thanks
