VOM160PT

Overview

The VOM160PT is a single-channel optoisolator manufactured by Vishay Semiconductor Opto Division, featuring a phototriac output. It provides an isolation voltage of 3750Vrms and supports a maximum output voltage of 600V. The device operates with a non-zero crossing switching characteristic and has a typical forward voltage of 1.1V. It is housed in a compact 4-SOP surface-mount package.

Feature Summary

• Non-zero crossing triac output for precise load control
• High isolation voltage rating of 3750Vrms
• Compact 4-SOP surface-mount packaging

Applications

• Consumer appliances
• Solid-state relays
• Motor controls
• Office equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'PT' to confirm the tape-and-reel packaging configuration. Ensure compatibility with non-zero crossing requirements in the target circuit design. Confirm that the 600V output rating meets the system's voltage specifications before integration.

Selection Notes

Select this component when non-zero crossing operation is required for triac drive applications. The 4-SOP package suits space-constrained designs. Verify that the 600V output capability aligns with the load voltage requirements. Consider the thermal characteristics of the SOP package for high-density PCB layouts.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Vishay VOM series of optocouplers, which are designed for general-purpose isolation. The VOM160PT specifically utilizes a phototriac output stage, distinguishing it from transistor or logic-output variants within the same family.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct substitutes with identical non-zero crossing triac outputs and 3750Vrms isolation. Verify pinout compatibility for 4-SOP packages. Ensure equivalent 600V output voltage ratings are maintained.
