Product details
Overview
DPC817S-A-TR-V from Diodes Incorporated is a high-isolation, single-channel phototransistor coupler in SL-4 package with 80–160% CTR at IF = 5 mA, VCE = 5 V; 35 V VCEO output rating; and 5000 VRMS input-output isolation voltage. It enables galvanic signal transfer in industrial power supplies, PLC I/O modules, and AC/DC feedback circuits where safety-rated insulation and stable current transfer are required.
For engineers reviewing the DPC817S-A-TR-V datasheet, DPC817S-A-TR-V pinout, DPC817S-A-TR-V application, or DPC817S-A-TR-V equivalent, key selection criteria include CTR rank A (80–160%), -55°C to +110°C operating range, SL-4 surface-mount footprint, VDE-certified isolation, and 18 µs rise/fall response time for moderate-speed digital interfacing.
Technical Context
The DPC817S-A-TR-V integrates an AlGaAs infrared LED emitter optically coupled to a silicon NPN phototransistor output stage. Its internal structure provides unidirectional signal transmission with no electrical continuity between input and output sides.
It operates with forward input current up to 60 mA and supports collector-emitter voltages up to 35 V. The device delivers guaranteed minimum CTR of 80% under standard test conditions (IF = 5 mA, VCE = 5 V), with saturation voltage ≤ 0.2 V at IC = 1 mA and IF = 20 mA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCEO | 35 V - Maximum allowable collector-emitter voltage before breakdown; sets safe output-side voltage swing limit in feedback or switching applications. |
| CTR (Min) | 80% - Minimum current transfer ratio at IF = 5 mA, VCE = 5 V; ensures reliable output drive margin across temperature and lifetime. |
| VISO | 5000 VRMS - Input-output isolation withstand voltage per UL1577 and VDE EN IEC 60747-5-5; qualifies for reinforced insulation in Class I/II AC mains-connected systems. |
| tR / tF | 18 µs - Rise and fall times at VCE = 2 V, IC = 2 mA, RL = 100 Ω; defines maximum usable data rate (~28 kHz) for digital on/off signaling. |
| TOPR | -55°C to +110°C - Full operational ambient temperature range; supports deployment in automotive engine bays, industrial motor drives, and outdoor power converters. |
| Package | SL-4 - Surface-mount, 4-pin, gull-wing leaded package with 2.54 mm pitch; compatible with standard reflow profiles and IPC-7351B land patterns. |
| Isolation Resistance | 5 × 10¹⁰ Ω - Minimum DC resistance between input and output at 500 V and 40–60% RH; confirms long-term insulation integrity in humid environments. |
Pinout & Package
SL-4 package: 4-pin surface-mount gull-wing outline with 2.54 mm lead pitch, 9.86 mm body width (E), and 4.60 mm body length (D). Pin 1 marked by dot; matte tin-plated leads compliant with MIL-STD-202 Method 208.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Anode) | LED anode input | Positive terminal for forward-biasing infrared LED; requires series current-limiting resistor for IF control. |
| 2 (Cathode) | LED cathode input | Return path for LED current; connects to ground or low-side switch in driving circuitry. |
| 3 (Emitter) | Phototransistor emitter output | Common reference node for output stage; typically tied to system ground or pulled low in active-low configurations. |
| 4 (Collector) | Phototransistor collector output | Switched high-side output node; sinks current when LED is illuminated; used for open-collector logic or feedback loop closure. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| VDE EN IEC 60747-5-5 certification | Validated isolation performance for safety-critical end equipment including medical and industrial power supplies. |
| CTR Rank A (80–160%) | Tight gain consistency enables predictable output current without post-production calibration in closed-loop feedback designs. |
| Green compound, halogen/antimony-free | Meets RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and JEDEC J-STD-020 MSL Level 1; supports lead-free reflow and environmentally compliant manufacturing. |
| 18 µs response time | Suitable for 20–30 kHz PWM signal isolation in SMPS feedback paths and digital I/O level translation without timing skew. |
| 5000 VRMS isolation | Enables direct interface between primary-side high-voltage domains and secondary-side control logic without external barrier components. |
Applications
| AC/DC Power Supply Feedback | PLC Digital Input Isolation |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar phototransistor coupler applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| PC817XNSZPF | Same SL-4 package, CTR 80–160%, but lacks VDE certification; rated only to 3750 VRMS isolation. | Acceptable for non-safety-critical consumer-grade power adapters but not certified for industrial or medical use. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs regulatory compliance requirements and isolation voltage margin is sufficient. |
| TLP185(GB-TP,F) | SL-4 package, CTR 100–200%, VDE-certified, but higher VCE(SAT) (0.4 V typical) and slower response (20 µs). | Better suited for low-speed logic isolation; less ideal for precision feedback due to higher saturation loss. | Prefer when tighter CTR distribution or lower temperature drift is prioritized over speed and low-loss operation. |
Compared with PC817XNSZPF and TLP185(GB-TP,F), DPC817S-A-TR-V offers the optimal balance of VDE-certified 5000 VRMS isolation, 18 µs speed, and 80–160% CTR stability-making it preferred for regulated power supply feedback and safety-compliant industrial I/O.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended forward current for continuous operation?
The absolute maximum forward current (IF) is 60 mA, but Diodes specifies 5 mA as the standard test condition for CTR characterization. For reliable long-term operation, continuous IF should be limited to ≤ 20 mA to maintain LED lifetime and CTR stability across temperature and aging.
Does DPC817S-A-TR-V support AC input signals on the LED side?
No - the input stage is a unidirectional AlGaAs LED; reverse voltage tolerance is only 6 V. AC coupling requires external rectification (e.g., anti-parallel diode or bridge) or use of a bidirectional optocoupler variant such as the IL420 series.
Can this part replace older DPC817 variants without layout changes?
Yes - DPC817S-A-TR-V uses the SL-4 package with identical 2.54 mm pin pitch and land pattern dimensions as documented in Diodes' Suggested Pad Layout (C = 2.54 mm, C1 = 9.22 mm). No PCB redesign is needed when upgrading from legacy SL-4 versions.
What safety certifications does DPC817S-A-TR-V hold beyond VDE?
In addition to VDE EN IEC 60747-5-5, it carries UL 1577 recognition (5000 VRMS) and CQC GB 4943.1-2022 approval. All certifications apply to the full SL-4 package configuration and are verified under the same test conditions specified in DS45855 Rev. 5-2.
