Product details
Overview
ASSR-401C-503E from Broadcom (formerly Avago) is a surface-mount, single-channel, normally-off solid-state relay in SO-4 package, featuring 400V output withstand voltage, 0.04A current rating, 65Ω typical on-resistance, 0.3nA off-state leakage, and 0.08ms turn-on time - deployed in automated test equipment for high-reliability signal switching.
For engineers reviewing the ASSR-401C-503E datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include input LED drive compatibility (1mA min), output isolation integrity (3750 Vrms), low C×R (650 pF·Ω), and RoHS-compliant tape-and-reel delivery for SMT production.
Technical Context
The ASSR-401C-503E integrates an AlGaAs infrared LED optically coupled to a photovoltaic diode array and MOSFET driver stage, enabling galvanic isolation and bi-directional AC/DC switching. It operates with 1mA minimum input current and turns off at ≤0.8V forward voltage across the LED.
Its internal architecture delivers 3750 Vrms input-output isolation per UL1577, 4.9mm minimum creepage/clearance, and 175V comparative tracking index (CTI), meeting safety requirements for Class II insulation in measurement systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Withstand Voltage | 400 V - supports safe switching of signals up to ±400V without breakdown |
| On-Resistance (RON) | 65 Ω typical - ensures minimal voltage drop and power loss at 40mA load |
| Off-State Leakage | 0.3 nA typical - preserves signal integrity in high-impedance measurement paths |
| Turn-On Time (tON) | 0.08 ms typical - enables sub-millisecond channel switching in multiplexed data acquisition |
| Input-Output Isolation | 3750 Vrms - meets UL1577 and CSA Component Acceptance for reinforced insulation |
| C × R Product | 650 pF·Ω typical - minimizes transient coupling and improves system settling time |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +85°C - validated for industrial-grade embedded instrumentation environments |
Pinout & Package
ASSR-401C-503E uses a 4-pin SOIC surface-mount package (SO-4), 3.56 mm body width, 1.27 mm lead pitch, RoHS-compliant lead-free finish, and tape-and-reel packaging (1500 units/reel).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | Anode (LED input) | Positive terminal for driving infrared LED; requires ≥1mA forward current to activate relay |
| Pin 2 | Cathode (LED input) | Ground return path for LED; logic-low (<0.8V) disables output conduction |
| Pin 3 | Source (MOSFET output) | One side of bi-directional output switch; connects to load return or reference node |
| Pin 4 | Drain (MOSFET output) | Other side of bi-directional output switch; handles ±400V, 40mA bidirectional current |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bi-directional Output Switching | Enables AC and DC signal routing without polarity constraints in multiplexer or ATE front-ends |
| Low Input Drive Requirement | 1mA LED current suffices for full turn-on - compatible with microcontroller GPIOs without buffer stages |
| High Transient Immunity | ≥1 kV/μs dV/dt rejection - suppresses false triggering from EMI in noisy test environments |
| Ultra-Low Off-State Leakage | 0.3 nA max at 400V - critical for precision voltage/current measurements where leakage induces offset errors |
| RoHS-Compliant Packaging | Lead-free SO-4 with tape-and-reel (−503E suffix) - supports automated SMT assembly and environmental compliance |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar solid-state relay applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLP3554(F) | Higher 600V output withstand; 0.15A rating; 1.2V typical LED forward voltage | Better suited for higher-voltage industrial control; requires higher drive current | Select when >400V isolation or >40mA load capability is needed; not pin-compatible |

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output voltage rating for ASSR-401C-503E?
The ASSR-401C-503E has a rated output withstand voltage of 400 V, verified under DC conditions with VF = 0.8 V and IO = 250 µA at TA = 25°C. This is not a continuous operating voltage but a momentary withstand rating; sustained operation should remain within system-level safety margins defined by IEC/EN 60747-5-2. The ASSR-401C-503E datasheet specifies 360 V minimum at elevated temperature.
Is ASSR-401C-503E pin-compatible with standard 4-pin SOIC electromechanical relays?
Yes - the ASSR-401C-503E uses a standard 4-pin SOIC footprint matching common Form A SPST reed and EMR replacements. Pin 1 (anode) and Pin 2 (cathode) align with LED drive terminals, while Pins 3 and 4 form the isolated bi-directional output switch. No PCB redesign is needed when upgrading from compatible mechanical relays.
What is the minimum input current required to fully turn on ASSR-401C-503E?
The ASSR-401C-503E requires a minimum forward current of 1 mA through the input LED (Pins 1–2) to guarantee reliable turn-on across the full −40°C to +85°C operating range. For stable performance at temperature extremes, Broadcom recommends operating at IF = 5 mA, which also improves tON/tOFF consistency. The ASSR-401C-503E achieves full conduction at this drive level.
Does ASSR-401C-503E support AC signal switching?
Yes - the ASSR-401C-503E features a bi-directional MOSFET output stage capable of switching both AC and DC signals up to ±400 V peak. Its symmetrical structure allows current flow in either direction when the LED is energized, making it suitable for AC-coupled instrumentation paths, audio routing, and universal analog multiplexing where polarity independence is required.
What safety certifications apply to ASSR-401C-503E?
The ASSR-401C-503E is UL Recognized per UL 1577 (3750 Vrms for 1 minute) and approved under CSA Component Acceptance Notice #5. It provides reinforced insulation with 4.9 mm minimum creepage and clearance, CTI of 175 V, and IIIa insulation group classification - qualifying it for use in measurement equipment requiring basic or reinforced isolation per IEC 61010-1.
