SFH636-X016

Overview

The SFH636-X016 is a high-speed optocoupler manufactured by Vishay Semiconductor Opto Division. It features a single channel with a phototransistor output and operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +100°C. The device provides an isolation voltage of 5300 Vrms and supports data rates up to 1 Mb/s. Key electrical parameters include a current transfer ratio (CTR) greater than 19% at 16 mA forward current, a maximum collector-emitter saturation voltage of 400 mV, and a power dissipation of 100 mW. It is housed in a 6-DIP package.

Feature Summary

• High-speed signal transmission capability for digital communication interfaces
• Galvanic isolation between input and output circuits for noise immunity
• Robust insulation voltage rating for safety-critical applications

Applications

• Industrial automation control systems
• Communication interface isolation
• Power supply feedback loops

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors or direct manufacturer channels. Confirm the specific suffix matches the required package and performance specifications. Check for end-of-life status or discontinuation notices prior to procurement planning. Ensure compliance with relevant regional regulatory standards such as RoHS requirements for the intended market.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high-speed digital isolation is required within a compact DIP footprint. Consider the CTR and saturation voltage limits for driving subsequent logic stages. Evaluate thermal management needs based on the specified power dissipation and operating temperature range. Compare against alternative packages if surface-mount solutions are preferred for automated assembly processes.

Part Context

This part belongs to the SFH636 series of high-speed optocouplers from Vishay. The series is designed for applications requiring fast switching speeds and reliable galvanic isolation.
