Product details
Overview
DPC817S-B-TR from Diodes Incorporated is a single-channel phototransistor-based optocoupler in SL-4 surface-mount package, providing galvanic isolation with 5,000 VRMS withstand voltage, minimum 130% CTR at IF = 5 mA / VCE = 5 V, and operation from −55°C to +110°C. It functions as a signal-level isolation interface in feedback loops of isolated DC-DC converters and I/O level-shifting circuits.
For engineers reviewing the DPC817S-B-TR datasheet, DPC817S-B-TR pinout, DPC817S-B-TR application, or DPC817S-B-TR equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed CTR range (130–260%), isolation rating compliance (UL1577, VDE EN IEC 60747-5-5), SL-4 footprint compatibility, and industrial temperature support without derating.
Technical Context
The DPC817S-B-TR integrates an AlGaAs infrared LED coupled to a silicon NPN phototransistor in a single molded package. Its current transfer ratio is specified under standardized test conditions (IF = 5 mA, VCE = 5 V), and its isolation barrier meets reinforced insulation requirements per UL1577 and VDE EN IEC 60747-5-5.
It delivers 18 µs rise/fall times into 100 Ω load, supports up to 60 mA forward current, and maintains collector-emitter saturation voltage ≤ 0.2 V at IC = 1 mA / IF = 20 mA - enabling reliable switching in low-voltage logic interfaces and analog feedback paths.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| CTR (Min/Max) | 130% to 260% at IF = 5 mA, VCE = 5 V - ensures robust output drive margin across temperature and lifetime for closed-loop regulation. |
| Isolation Voltage | 5,000 VRMS - meets reinforced insulation requirements for safety-critical AC-DC and medical power supplies. |
| VCEO | 35 V - supports collector supply rails up to 24 V with ≥40% headroom for transient suppression. |
| tR / tF | 18 µs each (RL = 100 Ω) - suitable for PWM frequencies ≤ 20 kHz in SMPS feedback and digital I/O isolation. |
| Operating Temp | −55°C to +110°C - enables deployment in automotive engine control modules and industrial motor drives without thermal derating. |
| VF (Typ) | 1.25 V at IF = 20 mA - minimizes LED drive power loss and simplifies biasing with standard 3.3 V or 5 V logic sources. |
| RISO (Min) | 5 × 10¹⁰ Ω - guarantees long-term insulation integrity in high-humidity environments. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SL-4 (Surface-Mount, 4-pin, gull-wing leads, 2.54 mm pitch, 10.16 mm body width). Molded green plastic housing with matte tin-plated leads, JEDEC-standard footprint, moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Anode) | LED Anode Input | Positive terminal of infrared emitter; requires series resistor for current limiting from 3.3 V/5 V source. |
| 2 (Cathode) | LED Cathode Input | Return path for LED current; connects to ground or low-side switch in driving circuit. |
| 3 (Emitter) | Phototransistor Emitter Output | Common emitter node; used with pull-up resistor to define logic-high level on output side. |
| 4 (Collector) | Phototransistor Collector Output | Active-low switching node; sinks current when LED is illuminated; compatible with TTL/CMOS inputs. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High CTR Rank B | Guaranteed 130–260% CTR ensures stable gain over life and temperature - reduces need for external gain compensation in feedback designs. |
| 5 kVRMS Isolation | Reinforced insulation certified to UL1577 and VDE EN IEC 60747-5-5 - eliminates requirement for additional creepage/clearance PCB layout measures. |
| SL-4 Surface-Mount | Compatible with automated reflow assembly; 13" reel packaging (2,000 pcs) supports high-volume SMT production without manual handling. |
| Green & RoHS Compliant | Halogen- and antimony-free mold compound (<900 ppm Br/Cl, <1000 ppm Sb); fully compliant with EU RoHS 2015/863/EU and J-STD-020 MSL Level 1. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar phototransistor optocoupler applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLP185(GB-TP,F) | Higher CTR (100–600%), same SL-4 package, but rated only to +105°C (vs. +110°C) and lacks VDE certification. | Acceptable for commercial-grade power supplies but not for medical or extended-temp industrial use requiring full VDE/UL dual certification. | Select if higher CTR margin is prioritized over extended temperature or dual-safety certification. |
| PC817X2NSZ0F | Same CTR rank (B: 130–260%), DIP-4 through-hole package, UL1577 only (no VDE), and MSL Level 3 vs. Level 1. | Suitable for prototyping or low-volume through-hole assemblies, but incompatible with automated SMT lines and fails humidity-sensitive reflow requirements. | Select only for hand-soldered evaluation or legacy DIP-4 board reuse; avoid for volume production or humid-environment applications. |
Compared with TLP185(GB-TP,F) and PC817X2NSZ0F, DPC817S-B-TR uniquely combines SL-4 SMT compatibility, VDE + UL dual safety certification, MSL Level 1 handling, and +110°C operation - making it the only choice for high-reliability, high-volume, safety-certified industrial and medical designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended forward current for continuous operation?
The absolute maximum forward current (IF) is 60 mA, but the device is characterized and optimized for 5–20 mA operation. Continuous use above 20 mA accelerates LED degradation and reduces CTR lifetime stability; Diodes specifies 20 mA as the maximum recommended DC operating point for 10-year reliability at +110°C.
Does DPC817S-B-TR support linear analog signal transmission?
Yes - its phototransistor output exhibits approximately linear current transfer versus input LED current within the 1–10 mA IF range, with CTR variation < ±15% across −40°C to +85°C. This enables use in analog feedback loops, though dedicated linear optocouplers (e.g., IL300) offer tighter linearity for precision applications.
Is the SL-4 package compatible with standard DIP-4 footprints?
No - SL-4 has gull-wing surface-mount leads with 2.54 mm pitch and 10.16 mm body width, while DIP-4 uses through-hole pins with 7.62 mm row spacing and 4.6 mm body width. The pad layouts, solder stencil apertures, and reflow profiles differ significantly; SL-4 requires dedicated SMT placement and reflow tooling.
What safety certifications does DPC817S-B-TR hold?
DPC817S-B-TR is certified to UL 1577 (5,000 VRMS, 1 minute) and VDE EN IEC 60747-5-5 (reinforced insulation, 5,000 VRMS, 1 minute). It also complies with CQC GB 4943.1-2022. These certifications are valid for both standard and "-V" suffix variants; the base DPC817S-B-TR meets all three standards per Diodes' DS45855 Rev. 5-2 documentation.
