VO617A-7X016

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Overview

The VO617A-7X016 is a single-channel transistor output optocoupler manufactured by Vishay Semiconductor Opto Division. It features an NPN phototransistor output housed in a DIP-4 through-hole package. Key electrical parameters include a maximum collector-emitter voltage of 80 V, a maximum collector current of 50 mA, and a forward current rating of 60 mA. The device provides an insulation voltage of 5300 Vrms and operates within a temperature range of -55 °C to +110 °C. The current transfer ratio (CTR) is specified between 80% and 160%. Additional specifications include a forward voltage of 1.65 V, a power dissipation of 200 mW, and rise/fall times of 4.6 µs and 15 µs respectively.

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Feature Summary

• Provides high isolation voltage of 5300 Vrms for safe signal transmission across potential differences
• Features a wide operating temperature range from -55 °C to +110 °C for robust environmental performance
• Utilizes a standard DIP-4 through-hole package for easy integration into printed circuit boards

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Applications

• Industrial control systems requiring galvanic isolation
• Signal transmission in noisy electrical environments
• Power supply feedback loops for voltage regulation

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '7X016' against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm packaging details and compliance certifications such as VDE. Ensure the required CTR binning matches the application needs, as variations may exist within the product line. Cross-reference the component marking with the official Vishay documentation to prevent counterfeit substitution during sourcing.

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Selection Notes

Select this component when a DIP-4 through-hole form factor is required alongside high isolation voltage capabilities. The 80-160% CTR range suits applications needing reliable switching without excessive drive current. Consider the 5300 Vrms rating for safety-critical interfaces where standard 5000 Vrms devices are insufficient or where specific regulatory approvals like VDE are mandated.

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Part Context

This part belongs to the VO617A series of transistor output optocouplers from Vishay. The series is designed for general-purpose isolation tasks. The '7X016' suffix typically denotes specific packaging or reel configuration distinct from standard tape-and-reel options like the '-7' variant. It shares core electrical characteristics with other VO617A models but differs in physical delivery format.

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Replacement Considerations

VO617A-7 is a direct functional equivalent with identical electrical specifications but differs in packaging format (reel/cut tape vs. tube). VOS617A-7T offers similar performance in an SSOP-4 surface-mount package. Verify pinout compatibility and isolation voltage ratings before substituting.
