Everlight's New 6-Pin DIP Optocouplers Offer High Temperature Ratings and Low-Profile Package Options; Ideal for Industrial Applications
New family of devices feature +110 degrees C peak operating temperature, optional low-profile package, high breakdown voltage and selection of CTR ranges
CARROLLTON, Texas -- November 1, 2007 -- Everlight Electronics Co. Ltd. (TSE: 2393) announces a new family of 6-pin DIP phototransistor optocouplers featuring wide operating temperature range (-55 C to +110 C), low-profile surface mount availability (S1 option at 3.9mm max), high collector-emitter breakdown voltage (min BVCEO = 80V), high-isolation voltage (5kVrms), more than 7mm creepage distance, as well as a wide selection of Current Transfer Ratio (CTR) ranges. These key device features combine to offer exceptional flexibility when designing power supplies, programmable logic controllers and general-purpose switching circuits.
The 6-pin DIP optocoupler family of 21 devices is grouped into the 4N2X, 4N3X, H11AX and CNY17-X, CNY17F-X series. Each optocoupler consists of an infrared-emitting diode optically coupled to a phototransistor. All products are lead (Pb)-free and RoHS-compliant.
Competitive device families on the market meet some, but not all, critical device specifications that make Everlight's line of 6-pin DIP optocouplers ideal for industrial and control designs. For instance, compared to conventional optocouplers, Everlight's 6-pin DIP devices offer a higher maximum operating temperature (110 C vs. 100 C), allowing designers to derate their boards to a higher temperature and improve thermal stability. These 6-pin DIP devices, like all Everlight DIP optocouplers, are available in two surface leadform options (S and S1). In addition to saving space in height-constrained applications, the lower profile S1 option retains the >7mm creepage and 5kVrms isolation voltage safety benefits of a DIP package. Furthermore, by offering a choice of devices (CNY17-X and CNY17F-X series) with defined CTR ranges, these new parts provide added design flexibility in high-end applications requiring narrow CTR bins characterized at low currents.
"Our new 6-pin DIP optocoupler devices add to Everlight's established portfolio of 4-pin DIP optocouplers," said Krish Ramdass, Optoelectronics Marketing, Everlight Americas, Inc. "In addition to a broad portfolio of products, our customers can count on a supplier that understands today's market demands while enjoying the benefits of short and reliable lead times based on our high-volume production and global support network."
