APPLICATIONS
DESCRIPTION
• Switchmode power supply
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.
• Telecom
The coupling devices are designed for signal transmission
between two electrically separated circuits.
• UL file no. E52744
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 VRMS or DC. Specifications subject to
change.
• DIN EN 60747-5-5 (VDE 0884-5) available with option 1
• Battery powered equipment
AGENCY APPROVALS
• cUL tested to CSA 22.2 bulletin 5A
• BSI EN 60950; EN 60065
• FIMKO
• CQC
