Vishay Semiconductors
Optocoupler, Phototransistor Output, High Reliability, 5300 V
FEATURES
• Good CTR linearity depending on forward
current
DESCRIPTION
The SFH610A (DIP) and SFH6106 (SMD) 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. This version complies with
IEC 60950 (DIN VDE 0805) for reinforced insulation up to
an operation voltage of 400 V
subject to change.

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.
