Product details
Overview
ASSR-4118-003E from Broadcom is a single-channel, normally-off, solid-state photo-MOSFET relay in a 4-pin SO package, featuring 400 V output withstand voltage, 0.1 A DC current rating, 25 Ω typical on-resistance (AC/DC), and 3 mA minimum LED turn-on current. It replaces electromechanical relays in telecom switching, industrial controls, and medical isolation circuits where low EMI, long life, and high reliability are required.
For engineers reviewing the ASSR-4118-003E datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include input-output insulation (3750 VRMS), output leakage (<1 μA), turn-on/off timing (0.7 ms / 0.04 ms typ), and SO-4 surface-mount compatibility for space-constrained PCBs.
Technical Context
The ASSR-4118-003E integrates an AlGaAs infrared LED optically coupled to a photovoltaic diode array and dual-MOSFET driver circuit, enabling galvanic isolation without external bias. Its Form A SPST configuration operates as a bidirectional signal switch with no moving parts, requiring only 3 mA input current to close the output contact and ≤0.8 V to open it.
It delivers 3750 VRMS input-to-output isolation per UL1577, supports AC/DC output loads up to 400 V, and maintains <1 μA output leakage at rated voltage. The SO-4 package ensures compact mounting while meeting creepage/clearance requirements of ≥4.9 mm between input and output terminals.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output voltage rating for ASSR-4118-003E?
The ASSR-4118-003E has a maximum continuous output withstand voltage of 400 V. This rating applies to both AC and DC loads and is validated under standard operating conditions (TA = 25°C). Exceeding this voltage may cause irreversible breakdown of the internal MOSFETs. For transient protection, external clamping circuits are recommended per Broadcom Application Note 1074.
Can ASSR-4118-003E switch AC signals, and what is its bidirectional capability?
Yes, ASSR-4118-003E supports bidirectional AC/DC switching due to its symmetrical MOSFET output structure. Pins 3 and 4 form a non-polarized SPST contact capable of conducting current in either direction, making it suitable for analog signal routing, audio switching, and AC load control without polarity concerns.
What is the minimum input current required to reliably turn on ASSR-4118-003E across temperature?
The ASSR-4118-003E requires a minimum LED forward current of 3 mA to guarantee turn-on across its full operating temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). While the device may activate at lower currents (≥0.5 mA), Broadcom recommends 5 mA for robust performance over temperature and lifetime, as confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table.
Does ASSR-4118-003E require an external gate drive or bias supply for the output MOSFETs?
No, ASSR-4118-003E does not require any external gate drive or bias supply. Its integrated photovoltaic diode array generates sufficient gate voltage to fully enhance the output MOSFETs using only the input LED current. This self-contained architecture simplifies design and eliminates auxiliary power rails.
How is the 3750 VRMS isolation rating of ASSR-4118-003E verified and certified?
The 3750 VRMS input-output isolation rating of ASSR-4118-003E is certified per UL 1577 (component recognition program) and CSA Component Acceptance Notice #5. Testing involves applying 3750 VRMS for 1 minute between shorted input pins (1+2) and shorted output pins (3+4), with leakage current limited to <10 μA. This rating is documented in the Insulation and Safety Related Specifications section of the AV02-0218EN datasheet.
