HCPL-4503#060

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Overview

The HCPL-4503#060 is a single-channel high-speed optocoupler from the HCPL series, manufactured by Broadcom Limited. It features a diode-transistor architecture with separate photodiode bias and output-transistor collector connections to minimize base-collector capacitance. Key electrical parameters include a data rate of 1 MBd, an isolation voltage of 3750 Vrms, and a typical current transfer ratio of 25%. The device operates within a temperature range of 0°C to +70°C, supports a maximum forward current of 16 mA (absolute max 25 mA), and delivers an output current of 8 mA. It is housed in an 8-pin DIP package.

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix #060 to confirm the standard plastic DIP-8 package variant. Ensure compliance requirements match project specifications, as this specific part number may not be RoHS compliant compared to -xxxE variants. Confirm lead time availability directly with authorized distributors, as stock levels fluctuate. Validate that the 16 mA forward current rating aligns with your circuit design limits.

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Selection Notes

Select this component when high-speed digital isolation is required in a through-hole DIP format. Compare against the HCPL-4503-300E if surface-mount assembly is preferred. Consider the HCPL-4503-000E or -060E variants if RoHS compliance is mandatory for the application. Evaluate the 3750 Vrms isolation barrier against system safety standards.
