Optocoupler, Phototransistor Output, High Reliability, 5300 VRMS
DESCRIPTION
The SFH6156 features a variety of transfer ratios, low
coupling capacitance and high isolation voltage. This
coupler has a GaAs infrared diode emitter, which is optically
coupled to a silicon planar phototransistor detector, and is
incorporated in a plastic SMD package.
The coupling devices are designed for signal transmission
between two electrically separated circuits.
The coupler is end-stackable with 2.54 mm lead spacing.
Creepage and clearance distances of > 8 mm are achieved
with option 6. This version complies with IEC 60950
(DIN VDE0805) for reinforced insulation up to an operation
voltage of 400 VRMS or DC. Specifications subject to
change.
FEATURES
Excellent CTR linearity depending on forward
current
Isolation test voltage, 5300 VRMS
Fast switching times
Low CTR degradation
Low coupling capacitance
Compliant to RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC and in
accordance to WEEE 2002/96/EC

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).

Notes
The thermal model is represented in the thermal network below. Each resistance value given in this model can be used to calculate the
temperatures at each node for a given operating condition. The thermal resistance from board to ambient will be dependent on the type of
PCB, layout and thickness of copper traces. For a detailed explanation of the thermal model, please reference Vishay’s thermal
characteristics of optocouplers application note.
(1) For 2 layer FR4 board (4" x 3" x 0.062")
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.
