5962-0824203KEA

Overview

The Broadcom Limited 5962-0824203KEA is a high-speed, hermetically sealed dual-channel optocoupler designed for robust signal isolation. It features an open-collector output with Schottky clamping and supports data rates up to 10MBd. The device provides 1500Vdc isolation voltage and exhibits a common-mode transient immunity of 1kV/µs. Packaged in a 16-DIP configuration, it operates within a temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. Key electrical parameters include a maximum propagation delay of 100ns and a typical forward voltage of 1.55V.

Feature Summary

• Hermetically sealed construction ensures reliability in harsh environments
• High-speed operation with 10MBd data rate capability
• Open-collector outputs integrated with Schottky clamping for fast switching
• Dual-channel design providing independent signal isolation paths

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring galvanic isolation
• Power supply feedback loops and monitoring circuits
• Data communication interfaces needing high noise immunity
• Military and aerospace electronic subsystems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix KEA corresponds to the 16-DIP package variant when sourcing. Confirm RoHS compliance status as military-grade variants may differ from commercial standards. Ensure procurement channels provide valid traceability documentation required for defense or industrial applications. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number against official Broadcom databases to avoid counterfeit components.

Selection Notes

Select this component when hermetic sealing and high thermal stability are critical requirements. The dual-channel architecture suits applications needing simultaneous isolated signal transmission. Verify that the 1500Vdc isolation rating meets system safety standards. Consider the 16-DIP footprint for through-hole mounting constraints and ensure the 10MBd speed aligns with interface timing specifications.

Part Context

This part belongs to the 5962-0824203 family of high-speed optocouplers from Broadcom Limited. Variants such as KUC and KUA share similar electrical characteristics but differ in packaging styles like surface mount versus dual in-line. These devices are engineered for demanding environments where standard plastic-packaged isolators may fail due to moisture or mechanical stress.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other hermetically sealed dual-channel optocouplers from the same series, such as the 5962-0824203KUC for surface mount needs. Verify pinout compatibility and isolation voltage ratings before substitution. Alternative manufacturers offering equivalent performance require rigorous qualification testing to match hermetic sealing standards.
