BRT23H-X006

Overview

The BRT23H-X006 is a single-channel phototriac output optocoupler manufactured by Vishay Semiconductor Opto Division. It features an integrated zero-crossing detection circuit for low electromagnetic interference switching. The device utilizes a DIP-6 package with through-hole mounting. Key electrical parameters include a maximum repetitive peak off-state voltage (VDRM) of 800 V, an RMS on-state current (IT(RMS)) of 300 mA, and a forward current (IF) of 60 mA. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +150°C, with a power dissipation of 600 mW.

Feature Summary

• Integrated zero-voltage crossing detector minimizes electrical noise during AC load switching
• High static dv/dt rating ensures reliable operation in high-noise environments
• Electrically insulated input and output circuits provide safety isolation
• Microcomputer compatible interface with high input sensitivity

Applications

• Solid-state relays for AC load control
• Motor speed controllers
• Lighting dimmer circuits
• Heater control systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix X006 corresponds to the PDIP-6 tube packaging configuration when sourcing. Confirm RoHS compliance status and UL recognition file E52744 requirements for end-product certification. Ensure the selected variant matches the 800 V blocking voltage specification required by the application design.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring precise zero-crossing switching to reduce inrush currents and EMI. Compare the 800 V VDRM against system line voltages to ensure adequate margin. Consider the 300 mA IT(RMS) limit for load capacity. Verify that the DIP-6 footprint aligns with existing PCB layouts compared to surface-mount alternatives like the BRT23H-SMD variants.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Vishay BRT21/22/23 series of phototriac output optocouplers. The 'H' designation typically indicates a higher voltage rating compared to lower voltage counterparts. The series is designed for general-purpose AC switching applications where galvanic isolation and noise immunity are critical. It serves as a bridge between low-voltage digital logic and high-voltage AC mains.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must maintain the zero-crossing feature and similar voltage/current ratings. Check datasheets for equivalent parts from other manufacturers offering 800 V triac outputs with integrated ZCC in a 6-pin DIP package.
