SFH600-2X001

Overview

The SFH600-2X001 is a single-channel optoisolator manufactured by Vishay Semiconductor Opto Division. It features a GaAs LED emitter optically coupled to a silicon planar phototransistor detector with an exposed base. The device provides 5300Vrms isolation voltage and operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +100°C. Key electrical parameters include a maximum collector-emitter voltage of 70V, a DC forward current limit of 60mA, and a typical forward voltage of 1.65V. The output transistor supports a maximum collector current of 100mA with a saturation voltage of 400mV max. Current transfer ratio ranges from 100% to 200% at 10mA input. Switching characteristics include typical rise and fall times of 3µs and 12µs respectively.

Feature Summary

• Integrates a Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) light-emitting diode emitter for efficient optical coupling.
• Utilizes a silicon planar phototransistor detector with an exposed base terminal for enhanced performance.
• Provides high-voltage isolation capability suitable for demanding industrial environments.

Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring galvanic isolation
• Signal isolation in measurement and testing equipment
• Power supply feedback loops

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix X001 against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm pinout and packaging configuration. Ensure that the required isolation voltage and current transfer ratio meet the design specifications. Confirm RoHS compliance status as per the latest product documentation. Check for any recent production changes or obsolescence notices issued by Vishay Semiconductor Opto Division prior to finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a robust phototransistor output with an exposed base is required for faster switching or external biasing. The 5300Vrms isolation rating makes it suitable for applications demanding high safety margins. Consider the 100mA collector current capacity for driving moderate loads directly. Evaluate the operating temperature range to ensure compatibility with the intended environmental conditions.

Part Context

The SFH600 series belongs to Vishay's portfolio of general-purpose optocouplers. This specific model represents a variant with a 6-DIP package. It is part of a family designed for reliable signal transmission across isolated barriers. The exposed base feature allows for additional circuit integration options not available in standard packages.

Replacement Considerations

CNY17F-3 is listed as a substitute option. Verify pin compatibility and electrical parameter alignment before substitution.
