Product details
Overview
DPC817L-D-TR from Diodes Incorporated is a high-isolation, single-channel phototransistor coupler in SLM-4 package, featuring 5000 VRMS isolation voltage, CTR ≥50% at IF = 5 mA / VCE = 5 V, BVCEO = 35 V, and operating temperature range of −55°C to +110°C. It provides galvanic signal transfer in industrial power supply feedback loops, PLC I/O isolation, and AC/DC converter control interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the DPC817L-D-TR datasheet, DPC817L-D-TR pinout, DPC817L-D-TR application, or DPC817L-D-TR equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed CTR rank (D = 50–600%), UL/VDE safety certification, SL-4/SLM-4 footprint compatibility, and −55°C to +110°C extended temperature operation for harsh-environment designs.
Technical Context
The DPC817L-D-TR integrates an AlGaAs infrared LED optically coupled to a silicon NPN phototransistor in a single molded plastic package. Its input-output isolation barrier meets UL1577 (5000 VRMS) and VDE EN IEC 60747-5-5 standards, with creepage/clearance >7.6 mm per IEC60664-1.
It operates with DC input current (IF ≤ 60 mA), delivers linear current transfer up to IC = 50 mA, and exhibits typical response times of 18 µs (rise/fall) into 100 Ω load. The device supports both saturated and active-region output operation depending on external biasing.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
Use Scenario: Digital input module receiving 24 V DC field signals from sensors and actuators in factory automation cabinets. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Signal-level galvanic isolator between field-side 24 V circuitry and controller-side 3.3 V logic, preventing ground loop noise and fault propagation. Use Value: Maintains ≥50% CTR over −25°C to +75°C ambient, enabling robust detection of low-current dry-contact closures without external amplification. |
Use Scenario: Secondary-side voltage sensing in isolated flyback converters delivering regulated 12 V/5 V outputs for embedded systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Optically transmits error amplifier output across isolation barrier to primary-side PWM controller, closing regulation loop. Use Value: 18 µs response time supports stable feedback at 50 kHz switching frequency; 35 V VCEO accommodates typical TL431 reference voltage headroom. |
| Motor Drive Enable/Disable Interface | Medical Equipment Patient Monitoring |
Use Scenario: Isolating enable/disable commands from microcontroller to gate driver ICs in variable-frequency AC motor inverters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Level-shifting and fault-isolating logic signal between low-voltage MCU domain and high-voltage power stage domain. Use Value: 5000 VRMS isolation prevents high dv/dt noise from power switches from corrupting MCU GPIO states during EMI events. |
Use Scenario: Isolating analog sensor front-end (ECG, SpO₂) from main processing unit in portable patient monitors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Providing basic digital status signaling (e.g., sensor connected/disconnected, alarm asserted) across patient-connected barrier. Use Value: UL1577 and VDE EN IEC 60747-5-5 certifications satisfy MDD/IVDR requirements for 1× MOPP isolation in Class I medical devices. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar phototransistor coupler applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLP185(GB-TP,F) | CTR min 50%, same 5000 VRMS isolation, but TO-263-4L package (larger footprint, higher thermal mass) | Preferred where board space allows and higher power dissipation margin is needed (PC = 170 mW vs. 150 mW) | Select when thermal derating above 85°C ambient is required; not drop-in compatible due to different land pattern |
| PC817XNIP0X | CTR min 80%, same DIP-4/SLM-4 variants, but only UL1577 certified (no VDE EN IEC 60747-5-5) | Suitable for non-medical industrial use where VDE certification is not mandated | Choose for cost-sensitive applications needing higher baseline CTR but lacking regulatory requirement for dual safety approvals |
Compared with TLP185(GB-TP,F), DPC817L-D-TR offers smaller SLM-4 footprint and VDE certification; versus PC817XNIP0X, it trades higher minimum CTR for broader safety compliance-making it optimal for medical-adjacent and globally certified industrial designs.

FAQ
What is the CTR rank designation for DPC817L-D-TR?
The "D" in DPC817L-D-TR denotes CTR Rank D, specifying a guaranteed minimum Current Transfer Ratio of 50% and maximum of 600% at IF = 5 mA and VCE = 5 V, measured at +25°C. This wide CTR range accommodates aging effects and temperature drift while maintaining functional margin in closed-loop feedback systems.
Does DPC817L-D-TR meet VDE safety standards?
Yes-DPC817L-D-TR complies with VDE EN IEC 60747-5-5 for optocouplers, in addition to UL1577 and CQC GB4943.1-2022. This triple certification confirms its suitability for reinforced insulation in medical, industrial, and consumer equipment requiring internationally recognized safety validation.
Can DPC817L-D-TR replace DPC817S-A-TR in the same PCB layout?
No-DPC817L-D-TR uses the SLM-4 package (11.5–12.1 mm width), whereas DPC817S-A-TR uses SL-4 (9.86–10.46 mm width). Their land patterns differ: SLM-4 has longer body length and distinct pad spacing (C1 = 10.86 mm vs. 9.22 mm), making them mechanically incompatible without PCB redesign.
What is the maximum recommended forward current for continuous operation?
The absolute maximum rated forward current is 60 mA, but the recommended continuous operating condition is IF ≤ 50 mA at TA ≤ +70°C. Derating to 30 mA is advised above +70°C ambient to maintain CTR stability and avoid LED degradation, per DS45855 Rev. 5–2 Section 3.
