PS2801C-1-F3-P-A

Overview

The PS2801C-1-F3-P-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 compact SSOP-4 surface-mount package with a 1.27 mm pin pitch. The device provides high isolation voltage of 2500 Vrms and supports a maximum collector-emitter voltage of 80 V. Key electrical parameters include a forward current of 30 mA, a forward voltage of 1.4 V, and a power dissipation of 60 mW. Switching characteristics feature typical rise and fall times of 5 µs and 7 µs, respectively. The component operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +100°C.

• Integrates GaAs LED and NPN phototransistor for DC coupling in a shielded SSOP-4 package
• Provides high insulation voltage capability for signal isolation applications
• Features fast switching performance suitable for digital signal transmission
• Includes ambient light shielding effect to ensure reliable operation

Applications

• Programmable logic controllers
• Measurement instruments
• Power supply circuits
• Mixed integrated circuits

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix F3-P-A against official Renesas documentation to confirm tape-and-reel packaging and lead-free status. Confirm RoHS compliance details as specified in the datasheet. Check for any lifecycle notices such as NRND or obsolescence warnings before procurement. Ensure the supplier provides valid traceability documents matching the manufacturer's part identification.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring single-channel isolation in space-constrained designs due to its small SSOP-4 footprint. Consider the 80 V collector-emitter voltage rating and 30 mA current capacity for driving loads. Evaluate the 2500 Vrms isolation requirement against system safety standards. Compare switching speeds if higher frequency response is needed, as other family members may offer different timing characteristics.

Part Context

This part belongs to the PS2801C series of high-isolation voltage photocouplers from Renesas Electronics. The series utilizes plastic SSOP packages designed for high-density mounting on printed circuit boards. The PS2801C-1 variant specifically denotes a single-channel configuration, distinguishing it from multi-channel options like the PS2801-4. The product line emphasizes compactness and reliability for industrial and commercial electronic systems.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official Renesas cross-reference lists for verified substitutes. Generic equivalents may not match the specific SSOP-4 pinout or isolation ratings. Verify that any replacement maintains the same channel count and output transistor type.
