EL1013(TA)-VG

Overview

The EL1013(TA)-VG is a single-channel transistor output optocoupler manufactured by Everlight Electronics. It features an NPN phototransistor output and operates with a maximum collector-emitter voltage of 80 V. The device provides high isolation capability with a rated insulation voltage of 5000 Vrms. It is housed in a 4-pin Surface Mount Package (SOP) designed for long creepage distance applications. The component supports a continuous forward current of up to 60 mA and functions within a wide operating temperature range from -55 °C to +110 °C.

Feature Summary

• Provides electrical isolation between input and output circuits using an infrared LED and NPN phototransistor configuration.
• Designed with a long creepage distance package structure to enhance safety and reliability in high-voltage environments.
• Capable of handling high isolation voltages to protect sensitive low-voltage control circuitry from high-voltage noise or transients.

Applications

• Industrial automation signal isolation
• Power supply feedback loops
• Microcontroller interface circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix TA indicates the long creepage SOP package variant. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation. Check for recent product change notifications regarding lead frame thickness adjustments that may affect mechanical dimensions without altering function.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high isolation voltage and compact surface mount packaging are required. Ensure the NPN output polarity matches the receiving circuit design. Verify that the 80 V collector voltage rating exceeds the maximum load voltage in the application.

Part Context

This part belongs to the EL101x series of transistor output optocouplers from Everlight. It shares functional similarities with models like EL1018 but differs in package creepage specifications. The series is widely used for general-purpose isolation in consumer and industrial electronics.

Replacement Considerations

EL1018(TA)-VG offers similar electrical characteristics with comparable isolation ratings. Cross-reference pinouts and package dimensions before substitution to ensure mechanical compatibility.
