Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix (e.g., X001) against official Vishay documentation to confirm packaging and tape-and-reel specifications. Ensure the component status is active for new designs, as some variants may be obsolete. Cross-reference pinouts and thermal characteristics with the latest datasheet before integration.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high-speed digital isolation is required alongside standard transistor output functionality. The integrated base allows for faster turn-off times compared to baseless counterparts. Verify that the 25V collector-emitter voltage rating meets the load requirements of the target application circuit.
