DESCRIPTION
The SFH615A feature a variety of transfer ratios, 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 package.
The coupling devices are designed for signal transmission
between two electrically separated circuits.
The couplers are 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 VDE 0805) for reinforced insulation up to an operation
voltage of 400 V
RMS
or DC. Specifications subject to
change.
