Product details
Overview
The ASSR-4118-503E from Broadcom is a single-channel, normally-off solid-state relay (Photo MOSFET) with optically isolated input and high-voltage output switching capability. It features 400 V output withstand voltage, 0.1 A DC current rating, 25 Ω typical on-resistance (AC/DC mode), 3 mA minimum turn-on LED current, and SO-4 surface-mount gull-wing packaging - designed for replacing electromechanical relays in telecom switching and industrial control signal paths.
For engineers reviewing the ASSR-4118-503E datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its 3750 VRMS input-output isolation, low 0.8 V turn-off threshold, compact 4-pin SO package, and compatibility with CMOS-level drive signals in safety-critical, space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The ASSR-4118-503E integrates an AlGaAs infrared LED optically coupled to a photovoltaic diode array and dual-MOSFET driver circuit. Its output stage operates as a bidirectional SPST switch with no moving parts, enabling silent, bounce-free operation and >10⁹ cycle lifetime.
It delivers galvanic isolation per UL 1577 (3750 VRMS, 1 min) and CSA Component Acceptance Notice #5, with 4.9 mm minimum clearance and creepage between input and output terminals. The device supports both AC and DC loads but is rated for 0.1 A average output current at TA = 25°C, derating above 40°C.
Key Specifications

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous output voltage the ASSR-4118-503E can block?
The ASSR-4118-503E has a rated output withstand voltage of 400 V, meaning it can continuously block up to ±400 V across its output terminals (pins 3 and 4) under specified operating conditions. This rating applies to both AC and DC waveforms and is validated at TA = 25°C with IO ≤ 250 μA. Transient overvoltage protection should be added in systems exposed to lightning or inductive kickback.
Can the ASSR-4118-503E switch AC loads directly?
Yes, the ASSR-4118-503E supports bidirectional AC load switching because its output consists of two anti-series MOSFETs. It can conduct and block AC waveforms up to 400 V peak-to-peak without polarity constraints. However, its 0.1 A average current rating applies to RMS values, and thermal derating must be applied above 40°C ambient temperature.
What is the minimum LED forward current required to guarantee turn-on of the ASSR-4118-503E?
The ASSR-4118-503E guarantees reliable turn-on with a minimum input LED forward current of 3 mA at TA = 25°C. While the device may activate at lower currents (≥0.5 mA), Broadcom specifies 3 mA as the design threshold to ensure consistent performance across the full –40°C to +85°C operating temperature range and product lifetime.
Does the ASSR-4118-503E require an external gate drive or bias circuit?
No, the ASSR-4118-503E does not require any external gate drive or bias circuit. Its internal photovoltaic diode array generates sufficient gate voltage to fully enhance both output MOSFETs when the input LED is driven with ≥3 mA. Only a series current-limiting resistor is needed on the input side to set IF within the 3–20 mA recommended range.
How is isolation verified for the ASSR-4118-503E, and what safety standards does it meet?
The ASSR-4118-503E is UL recognized per UL 1577 (3750 VRMS, 1 minute) and CSA approved under Component Acceptance Notice #5. Isolation is verified by applying 3750 VRMS between shorted input pins (1+2) and shorted output pins (3+4). It achieves 4.9 mm minimum clearance and creepage, satisfying reinforced insulation requirements for functional safety in industrial and medical end equipment.
