Optocoupler, Phototransistor Output, High Reliability,
5000 V
RMS
, 110 °C Rated
DESCRIPTION
The 110 °C rated SFH1617A (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. This version complies with
IEC 60950 (DIN VDE 0805) for reinforced insulation up to an
operation voltage of 400 V
RMS
or DC. Specifications subject
to change.
