Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '060E' against official Broadcom documentation to confirm package type and compliance status. Ensure the procurement channel sources directly from authorized distributors or the manufacturer to guarantee component authenticity. Cross-reference the datasheet revision date to validate that technical specifications match the delivered hardware batch.

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Selection Notes

Select this component when a through-hole DIP-4 form factor is required for PCB assembly. Choose this model over surface-mount variants if mechanical stability or manual soldering capabilities are prioritized. Verify that the 50 mA collector current rating meets the load requirements of the connected circuitry before finalizing the design.

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Part Context

This part belongs to the HCPL-817 series of high-density phototransistor optocouplers. The series is characterized by its compact packaging and robust isolation capabilities. The HCPL-817-060E specifically denotes the through-hole PDIP-4 variant, distinguishing it from surface-mount versions like the HCPL-817-500E which utilizes a gull-wing package.

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Replacement Considerations

HCPL-817-W00E: Offers similar electrical performance but utilizes a PDIP-4 Gull Wing package configuration instead of standard through-hole pins.
