Product details
Overview
DPC817S-D-TR from Diodes Incorporated is a single-channel phototransistor output optocoupler with 5000 VRMS input-output isolation, 35 V C-E breakdown voltage, and minimum 50% current transfer ratio (CTR) at IF = 5 mA, VCE = 5 V. It operates across -55°C to +110°C and is used in isolated feedback loops for AC/DC SMPS, I/O level shifting in PLCs, and safety-critical relay drive circuits.
For engineers reviewing the DPC817S-D-TR datasheet, DPC817S-D-TR pinout, DPC817S-D-TR application, or DPC817S-D-TR equivalent, key selection criteria include verified CTR range (50–600%), isolation rating compliance (UL1577, VDE EN IEC 60747-5-5), temperature stability of CTR (-40°C to +100°C), and SL-4 surface-mount package compatibility with automated assembly.
Technical Context
This optocoupler integrates an AlGaAs infrared LED paired with a silicon NPN phototransistor in a single SL-4 package. Its internal structure enables galvanic isolation between input and output stages without shared ground, supporting signal transmission across different voltage domains while blocking noise and transients.
The device exhibits 80 kHz cutoff frequency and ≤18 µs rise/fall times under RL = 100 Ω, making it suitable for DC and low-frequency AC signal coupling. CTR degrades predictably with temperature and aging-typical drift is -0.2%/°C from 25°C to 100°C and <10% over 10 years at rated conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Isolation Voltage | 5000 VRMS - meets reinforced insulation requirements per UL1577 and VDE EN IEC 60747-5-5 for industrial safety standards. |
| CTR (Min) | 50% at IF = 5 mA, VCE = 5 V - ensures reliable transistor saturation in feedback control loops even at end-of-life. |
| VCEO | 35 V - supports output-side operation up to 24 V logic or 30 V relay coil drive with margin. |
| Response Time | ≤18 µs (rise/fall) - enables stable closed-loop regulation in switch-mode power supplies up to ~50 kHz switching frequency. |
| Operating Temp | -55°C to +110°C - qualified for extended industrial and automotive under-hood environments without derating. |
| Package | SL-4 - surface-mount, 4-pin, 2.54 mm pitch, compatible with standard reflow profiles (peak 260°C). |
| Moisture Sensitivity | Level 1 per J-STD-020 - no baking required prior to assembly; supports unlimited floor life. |
Pinout & Package
SL-4 is a 4-pin surface-mount package with 2.54 mm lead pitch, 10.16 mm body width, and 4.60 mm length. Pin 1 is marked by a dot; polarity is critical for LED anode connection.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Anode | LED input terminal - connect to current-limited source (e.g., via 1 kΩ resistor from 5 V); reverse bias must not exceed 6 V. |
| 2 | Cathode | LED return path - tie to system ground or low-side switch; IR ≤ 10 µA at VR = 4 V ensures minimal leakage. |
| 3 | Emitter | Phototransistor emitter - typically grounded; provides common reference for collector load and defines output polarity. |
| 4 | Collector | Phototransistor output - connects to pull-up resistor or logic input; IC ≤ 50 mA max supports direct drive of small relays or logic gates. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High Isolation Integrity | 5000 VRMS withstand voltage with ≥5×10¹⁰ Ω isolation resistance ensures long-term reliability in noisy industrial environments. |
| Wide-Temperature CTR Stability | CTR remains ≥70% of room-temp value at +100°C - eliminates need for external gain compensation in thermal-critical designs. |
| Green Mold Compound | UL94V-0 rated, halogen-free, antimony-free compound - satisfies IPC-1752A material declaration and RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) compliance. |
| Lead-Free & Solderable | Matte tin-plated leads meet MIL-STD-202 Method 208 - supports both SnPb and lead-free reflow without dewetting or voiding. |
| Standardized SL-4 Footprint | Compatible with JEDEC MS-012AC outline - enables drop-in replacement of legacy DIP-4 optocouplers using adapter stencils or board redesign. |
Applications
| AC/DC Switch-Mode Power Supply Feedback | Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) Digital Input Isolation |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Closed-loop voltage regulation in offline flyback converters where primary-side controller requires isolated feedback from secondary-side output. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Signal-level isolation element transmitting error amplifier output across transformer barrier to adjust PWM duty cycle. Use Value: Enables stable ±1% output regulation despite line/load transients and EMI, leveraging 5000 VRMS isolation to meet IEC 62368-1 creepage requirements. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar optocoupler applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLP291(GB-TP,E | Higher CTR (50–600% same range), but only 3750 VRMS isolation; SL-4 package identical. | Lacks VDE certification; unsuitable for medical or reinforced insulation systems requiring 5000 VRMS. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs safety certification needs and isolation margin can be reduced. |
| PC817XNSZ0F | Same 5000 VRMS rating and SL-4 footprint, but CTR min = 80% (rank X); tighter initial tolerance. | Better for precision feedback loops where gain consistency reduces calibration overhead. | Prefer when higher baseline CTR improves loop stability margin without increasing external gain components. |
Compared with TLP291(GB-TP,E, DPC817S-D-TR delivers 1250 VRMS higher isolation for safety-critical systems; versus PC817XNSZ0F, it offers broader CTR distribution (50–600% vs. 80–160%) enabling wider design flexibility at lower cost, though with less initial gain precision.

FAQ
What is the maximum forward current rating for DPC817S-D-TR?
The absolute maximum forward current (IF) is 60 mA, but continuous operation above 50 mA accelerates LED degradation. For 10-year reliability at +105°C, Diodes recommends limiting IF to 20 mA with appropriate series resistance-verified by accelerated life testing per JESD22-A108.
Does DPC817S-D-TR support bidirectional signal transmission?
No. DPC817S-D-TR is unidirectional: the AlGaAs LED emits light only when forward-biased (pin 1 → pin 2), and the NPN phototransistor conducts only from collector to emitter (pin 4 → pin 3). Reverse connection of either side will not function and may damage the LED if reverse voltage exceeds 6 V.
Can DPC817S-D-TR replace through-hole DIP-4 optocouplers on existing PCBs?
Not directly-SL-4 has different pad layout (10.16 mm width vs. DIP-4's 7.62 mm) and solder joint geometry. However, Diodes provides recommended SL-4 pad dimensions (C = 2.54 mm, C1 = 9.22 mm) and adapter footprints exist for migration; board redesign or stencil adaptation is required.
Is DPC817S-D-TR qualified for automotive applications?
No AEC-Q101 qualification is stated in DS45855 Rev. 5-2. While operating temperature (-55°C to +110°C) meets automotive ambient requirements, absence of PPAP documentation, AEC change control, and IATF 16949 manufacturing evidence means it is intended for industrial, medical, and consumer applications-not automotive safety systems.
