Optocoupler, Phototransistor Output, High Reliability, 5300 VRMS
DESCRIPTION
The SFH610A (DIP) and SFH6106 (SMD) feature a high
current transfer ratio, low coupling capacitance and high
isolation voltage. These couplers have a GaAs infrared
diode emitter, which is optically coupled to a silicon planar
phototransistor detector, and is incorporated in a plastic
DIP-4 or SMD package.
The coupling devices are designed for signal transmission
between two electrically separated circuits.
The couplers are end-stackable with 2.54 mm spacing.
Creepage and clearance distances of > 8.0 mm are
achieved with option 6. This version complies with
IEC 60950 (DIN VDE 0805) for reinforced insulation up to
an operation voltage of 400 VRMS or DC. Specifications
subject to change.
FEATURES
• Good CTR linearity depending on forward
current
• Isolation test voltage, 5300 VRMS
• High collector emitter voltage, VCEO = 70 V
• Low saturation voltage
• Fast switching times
• Low CTR degradation
• Temperature stable
• Low coupling capacitance
• End stackable, 0.100" (2.54 mm) spacing
• High common mode interference immunity
• Lead (Pb)-free component
• Material categorization: For definitions of compliance
please see www.vishay.com/doc?99912
AGENCY APPROVALS
• UL1577, file no. E52744 system code H or J, double
protection
• DIN EN 60747-5-5 (VDE 0884) available with option 1
• CSA 93751
• BSI IEC 60950; IEC 60065
