PS2501-2XSMT&R

Overview

The PS2501-2XSMT&R is a dual-channel optocoupler manufactured by Isocom Components 2004 LTD. It features an NPN phototransistor output and accepts DC input signals. The device provides high isolation voltage of 5300Vrms between the input LED and output transistor. Key electrical parameters include a typical rise time of 4μs, a typical fall time of 3μs, and a maximum forward voltage of 1.4V. The unit operates within a temperature range of -30°C to 100°C and supports a maximum input current of 50mA.

Feature Summary

• Dual-channel configuration for simultaneous signal isolation
• High dielectric isolation capability for safety-critical circuits
• Fast switching performance suitable for digital data transmission

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring channel isolation
• Signal transmission between different potential levels
• Power supply protection circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific suffix 'SMT&R' corresponds to the tape and reel packaging format required for automated surface mount assembly processes. Confirm that the manufacturer designation matches Isocom Components 2004 LTD specifications. Ensure the component meets the necessary UL recognition standards for the intended application environment before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when dual-channel isolation is required in a compact surface mount footprint. Consider the 5300Vrms isolation rating for applications involving high voltage separation. Evaluate the 4μs rise time against system speed requirements. Compare against single-channel alternatives if only one isolated path is needed to optimize board space and cost efficiency.

Part Context

This part belongs to the PS2501 series of optocouplers from Isocom Components. The series is designed as a replacement for standard industry components. The dual-channel variant offers two independent isolation paths within a single package, providing a space-efficient solution for multi-signal isolation tasks in modern electronic designs.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other PS2501 series variants such as PS2501-2X for leaded versions. Verify pinout compatibility and isolation voltage ratings against existing design schematics to ensure functional equivalence without circuit modification.
