Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. Isolators - Optoisolators - Transistor, Photovoltaic Output SFH601-1X009T

The SFH601-1X009T is an optoisolator featuring a GaAs infrared emitting diode optically coupled to a silicon phototransistor, housed in a plastic DIP-6 package. It offers a high current transfer ratio ranging from 40% to 80% at 10 mA input current, with a maximum output current of 50 mA and a collector-emitter voltage rating of 100 V. The device is designed for signal transmission between electrically isolated circuits, making it suitable for applications in telecom, industrial controls, and battery-powered equipment. The optoisolator has an isolation voltage rating of 5300 Vrms, ensuring robust electrical separation. It operates over a wide temperature range from -55¬8C to +100¬8C and has a low coupling capacitance of 0.6 pF, which contributes to its high common mode transient immunity. The turn-on and turn-off times are typically 3 ¬µs and 2.3 ¬µs, respectively. The device is compliant with various safety standards, including UL and cUL certifications, and is suitable for use in environments with pollution degree 2. Engineers considering this component should note its suitability for applications requiring reliable isolation and signal integrity in compact designs.
