Optocoupler, Phototransistor Output, High Reliability,
5300 VRMS, 110 °C Rated
DESCRIPTION
The 110 °C rated SFH617A (DIP) 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 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.
FEATURES
• Operating temperature from -55 °C to +110 °C
• 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
• Material categorization: for definitions of compliance
please see www.vishay.com/doc?99912
APPLICATIONS
•AC adapter
•SMPS
•PLC
• Factory automation
• Game consoles

Notes
• Stresses in excess of the absolute maximum ratings can cause permanent damage to the device. Functional operation of the device is not
implied at these or any other conditions in excess of those given in the operational sections of this document. Exposure to absolute
maximum ratings for extended periods of the time can adversely affect reliability.
(1) Refer to reflow profile for soldering conditions for surface mounted devices (SMD). Refer to wave profile for soldering conditions for through
hole devices (DIP).
Note
• Minimum and maximum values are testing requirements. Typical values are characteristics of the device and are the result of engineering
evaluation. Typical values are for information only and are not part of the testing requirements.
