5962-9685201KPA

Overview

The Broadcom Limited 5962-9685201KPA is a hermetically sealed logic output optocoupler featuring an open collector, Schottky-clamped phototransistor output. It provides electrical isolation with a 1500 VDC insulation voltage and a typical common-mode transient immunity of 10 kV/µs. The device operates in a single-channel configuration within an 8-DIP package. Key electrical parameters include a forward voltage of 1.5 V, a maximum output current of 15 mA, and DC input type compatibility. This component is designed for high-reliability applications requiring robust signal isolation.

Feature Summary

• Hermetically sealed construction ensures environmental stability and long-term reliability
• Schottky-clamped open collector output enhances switching speed and noise immunity
• High common-mode transient immunity supports operation in noisy industrial environments

Applications

• Gate drive circuits for power electronics
• Industrial process control systems
• Motor control applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm package style and material composition. Ensure the procurement source provides valid manufacturer traceability documentation. Confirm that the component meets the required military or aerospace specifications if applicable. Check for any specific handling instructions related to the hermetic seal integrity during storage and installation.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high isolation voltage and fast switching are critical. The Schottky clamp reduces storage time, making it suitable for high-frequency digital isolation. Consider the 8-DIP package size for through-hole mounting constraints. Evaluate the 15 mA output current capability against the load requirements of the destination circuitry.

Part Context

This part belongs to the 5962 series of high-reliability optocouplers manufactured by Broadcom Limited. The series is characterized by strict quality controls and hermetic sealing options. It serves as a bridge between low-voltage control circuits and high-voltage power stages, ensuring safety and signal integrity in demanding electronic systems.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the 8-DIP hermetic package and open collector output type. Verify equivalent isolation voltage and CMTI ratings. Cross-reference with other 5962-series variants from Broadcom or qualified equivalents that maintain the same pinout and electrical characteristics.
