Optocoupler, Phototransistor Output, High Reliability, 5300 VRMS
DESCRIPTION
The SFH610A and SFH6106 feature a high current transfer
ratio, low coupling capacitance and high isolation voltage.
These couplers have a GaAs infrared diode emitter, which
is optically coupled to a silicon planar phototransistor
detector, and is incorporated in a plastic DIP-4 or SMD
package.
The coupling devices are designed for signal transmission
between two electrically separated circuits.
The couplers are end-stackable with 2.54 mm spacing.
Creepage and clearance distances of > 8.0 mm are
achieved with option 6 and option 8. This version complies
with IEC 60950 (DIN VDE 0805) for reinforced insulation up
to an operation voltage of 400 VRMS or DC. Specifications
subject to change.
FEATURES
• Good CTR linearity depending on forward
current
• Isolation test voltage, 5300 VRMS
• High collector emitter voltage, VCEO = 70 V

Notes
• Stresses in excess of the absolute maximum ratings can cause permanent damage to the device. Functional operation of the device is not
implied at these or any other conditions in excess of those given in the operational sections of this document. Exposure to absolute
maximum ratings for extended periods of the time can adversely affect reliability.
(1) Refer to reflow profile for soldering conditions for surface mounted devices (SMD). Refer to wave profile for soldering conditions for through
hole devices (DIP).
Note
• Minimum and maximum values are testing requirements. Typical values are characteristics of the device and are the result of engineering
evaluation. Typical values are for information only and are not part of the testing requirements.
