PS2513L-1-A

Overview

The PS2513L-1-A is a single-channel transistor output optocoupler manufactured by Renesas Electronics. It integrates a Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) infrared emitting diode and an NPN silicon phototransistor within a DIP-4 Gull Wing package. The device provides high isolation voltage of 5000 Vrms and supports a maximum collector-emitter voltage of 120 V. Key electrical parameters include a forward current of 80 mA, forward voltage of 1.3 V, and a current transfer ratio ranging from 100% to 400%. It operates with switching speeds of 20 µs for both rise and fall times, handles a maximum collector current of 30 mA, and dissipates up to 150 mW. The component functions reliably within a temperature range of -55°C to +100°C.

Feature Summary

• High isolation voltage capability of 5000 Vrms for robust signal separation
• High collector-to-emitter voltage rating of 120 V for demanding circuit applications
• Guaranteed maximum switching speed ensuring reliable high-speed data transmission

Applications

• Industrial automation control systems requiring galvanic isolation
• Power supply feedback loops for voltage regulation
• Microprocessor input/output interface circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'A' against the official Renesas datasheet to confirm pinout and electrical tolerances match design requirements. Confirm RoHS compliance status through the manufacturer's documentation. Check the lifecycle status as NRND (Not Recommended for New Designs) to assess long-term availability risks before finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a high collector-emitter voltage of 120 V is required alongside standard transistor output characteristics. Ensure the application benefits from the 5000 Vrms isolation barrier. Verify that the 20 µs switching speed meets the system timing constraints. Consider the DIP-4 package compatibility with existing PCB footprints during the selection process.
