Vishay Semiconductors
Optocoupler, Phototransistor Output, AC Input, 5300 VRMS
DESCRIPTION
The SFH620AA, SFH620AGB features a high current
transfer ratio, low coupling capacitance and high isolation
voltage. These couplers have a GaAs infrared emitting 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.
This version complies with IEC 60950 (DIN VDE 0805) for
reinforced insulation up to an operation voltage of 400 VRMS
or DC.

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.
(1) Refer to reflow profile for soldering conditions for surface mounted devices (SMD). Refer to wave profile for soldering conditions for through
hole devices (DIP).
