SFH6136-X001

Overview

The SFH6136-X001 is a single-channel optocoupler featuring an infrared LED and a phototransistor with base output. It provides electrical isolation of 5300Vrms between input and output circuits. The device operates within a temperature range of -55°C to 100°C. Key electrical parameters include a maximum collector-emitter voltage of 25V, a DC forward current limit of 25mA, and a typical forward voltage of 1.6V. Signal transmission characteristics specify turn-on and turn-off times of approximately 200ns each. The unit is housed in an 8-DIP package.

Feature Summary

• Integrates an infrared emitting diode with a phototransistor that includes a base terminal for enhanced control capabilities.
• Provides high-voltage electrical isolation suitable for separating circuits with significant potential differences.
• Designed for high signal transmission rates with fast switching speeds appropriate for digital logic applications.

Applications

• Digital logic signal transmission and level shifting
• Power supply control and switching circuits
• Electrical insulation isolation between system components

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix X001 against official Vishay documentation to confirm package type and tape/reel specifications. Confirm current production status as some listings indicate obsolete status while others show availability. Ensure the required isolation voltage rating meets the safety standards of the target application environment before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a phototransistor output with a base connection is required for improved noise immunity or faster switching compared to standard variants. Consider the 5300Vrms isolation rating for high-voltage separation needs. Evaluate the 8-DIP package constraints against available board space. Compare propagation delays against system timing requirements to ensure compatibility with the intended data rate.

Part Context

This component belongs to the SFH613x series of optocouplers manufactured by Vishay Semiconductor Opto Division. These devices are engineered for general-purpose isolation tasks requiring reliable signal transfer across isolated boundaries. The series typically offers robust performance in industrial and consumer electronic environments where galvanic isolation is critical for safety and signal integrity.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not provided in the available source material. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical parameter equivalence with alternative models from other manufacturers if direct replacement is necessary.
