SFH601-2X001

Overview

The SFH601-2X001 is a single-channel transistor output optocoupler manufactured by Vishay Semiconductor Opto Division. It features an NPN phototransistor with base connection housed in a 6-DIP package for through-hole mounting. The device provides high isolation capability with a test voltage of 5300 Vrms and operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +100°C. Key electrical parameters include a maximum collector-emitter voltage of 100 V, a forward current of 60 mA, and a typical forward voltage of 1.65 V. The current transfer ratio ranges from 63% to 125%, with a maximum collector current of 50 mA and power dissipation of 150 mW.

Feature Summary

• Integrates an NPN phototransistor with a dedicated base terminal for enhanced switching control and speed.
• Provides robust electrical isolation with a high insulation test voltage rating of 5300 Vrms.
• Designed for reliable operation across a wide industrial temperature range extending down to -55°C.

Applications

• Industrial automation systems requiring signal isolation
• Solid-state relay driver circuits
• Microcontroller interface isolation

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix X001 against official Vishay documentation to confirm it denotes the standard tube packaging format rather than a variant with altered electrical characteristics. Ensure the procurement channel sources components directly from authorized distributors to guarantee authenticity and traceability of the Vishay Semiconductor Opto Division product.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a phototransistor output with base access is required for faster switching or linear applications compared to standard variants. The 6-DIP form factor suits through-hole PCB layouts, while the 5300 Vrms isolation rating supports high-voltage safety standards in industrial environments.

Part Context

This part belongs to the SFH601 family of optocouplers, which are characterized by their phototransistor output with base connection. The family offers various Current Transfer Ratio (CTR) grades, such as the -1, -2, and -3 suffixes, differentiated primarily by their gain specifications while maintaining consistent physical and electrical limits.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other Vishay SFH601 variants like SFH601-1 or SFH601-3 if different CTR ranges are needed. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal performance before substituting with non-Vishay equivalents.
