Product details
Overview
DPC817W-B-TU from Diodes Incorporated is a high-isolation, single-channel phototransistor optocoupler in MDIP-4 package, featuring 130–260% current transfer ratio (CTR) at IF = 5 mA, VCE = 5 V, 5,000 VRMS isolation voltage, and -55°C to +110°C operating temperature range. It provides galvanic signal isolation in industrial power supply feedback loops, PLC input conditioning, and microcontroller I/O level-shifting circuits.
For engineers reviewing the DPC817W-B-TU datasheet, DPC817W-B-TU pinout, DPC817W-B-TU application, or DPC817W-B-TU equivalent, key selection criteria include CTR rank B tolerance, UL/VDE safety certification, MDIP-4 creepage/clearance compliance, and guaranteed VCEO = 35 V collector-emitter breakdown under transient stress.
Technical Context
This optocoupler integrates an AlGaAs infrared LED emitter paired with a silicon NPN phototransistor output stage. Its internal structure enables DC-to-80 kHz signal transmission with 18 µs rise/fall times and <0.2 V VCE(SAT) at IC = 1 mA, supporting reliable on/off switching in isolated gate drive and analog feedback paths.
The device meets reinforced insulation requirements per UL 1577 and VDE EN IEC 60747-5-5, with 5×10¹⁰ Ω minimum isolation resistance and <1 pF floating capacitance-critical for noise immunity in AC/DC SMPS feedback and motor control enable lines.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| CTR Range | 130–260% at IF = 5 mA, VCE = 5 V - ensures stable output current across manufacturing variance and aging in closed-loop regulation. |
| VCEO | 35 V - supports direct connection to 24 V industrial bus lines with margin against transients. |
| VISO | 5,000 VRMS - satisfies reinforced insulation for mains-connected equipment per IEC 62368-1 and IEC 61800-5-1. |
| Response Time | 18 µs rise/fall - enables PWM signal isolation up to ~80 kHz without duty cycle distortion. |
| Operating Temp | -55°C to +110°C - qualified for under-hood automotive auxiliary systems and industrial outdoor enclosures. |
| VCE(SAT) | Max 0.2 V at IF = 20 mA, IC = 1 mA - minimizes power loss and self-heating in high-duty-cycle digital isolation. |
| Isolation Resistance | ≥5×10¹⁰ Ω at DC 500 V - prevents leakage-induced logic errors in high-impedance microcontroller inputs. |
Pinout & Package
Package: MDIP-4 (Mini-Dual In-line Package, 4-pin), 9.66 mm × 7.62 mm body, 2.54 mm lead pitch, matte tin-plated leads, RoHS-compliant "Green" molded plastic (UL 94V-0).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Anode) | LED anode input | Forward bias connection for IR emitter; polarity dot-marked for orientation during PCB layout. |
| 2 (Cathode) | LED cathode input | Return path for LED drive current; requires series resistor to limit IF ≤ 60 mA max. |
| 3 (Emitter) | Phototransistor emitter output | Common reference node for output stage; tied to system ground on isolated side. |
| 4 (Collector) | Phototransistor collector output | Active-high switched output; pulled high via external load resistor to VCC_ISO. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High CTR Rank B | 130–260% min-to-max spread ensures consistent gain across batches without recalibration in analog feedback designs. |
| 5 kVRMS Isolation | Validated per UL 1577 and VDE EN IEC 60747-5-5 - eliminates need for external isolation barriers in Class II power supplies. |
| Low VCE(SAT) | ≤0.2 V enables direct interface with 3.3 V or 5 V logic without level-shifter circuitry on the output side. |
| Extended Temperature Range | -55°C to +110°C operation supports deployment in unheated factory floors and automotive engine bays. |
| Halogen-Free & RoHS3 Compliant | Meets EU Directive 2015/863/EU with <900 ppm Br/Cl and <1000 ppm Sb - required for export to EU/China markets. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar phototransistor optocoupler applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| PC817XNNSZ0F (Sharp) | CTR 130–260%, same MDIP-4 package, but only UL certified (no VDE approval); VCEO = 35 V identical. | Lacks VDE EN IEC 60747-5-5 - unsuitable for European medical or industrial equipment requiring dual certification. | Select when UL-only compliance suffices and cost sensitivity outweighs regional certification needs. |
| TLP185(GB-TP,F) (Toshiba) | CTR 130–260%, same MDIP-4 footprint, but higher VCE(SAT) = 0.4 V max and slower 30 µs response time. | Higher saturation voltage increases power dissipation in high-duty-cycle switching; lower bandwidth limits PWM fidelity. | Prefer only if legacy design reuse mandates Toshiba footprint compatibility and speed is not critical. |
Compared with PC817XNNSZ0F and TLP185(GB-TP,F), DPC817W-B-TU delivers dual UL/VDE certification, lower VCE(SAT), and faster response-making it optimal for safety-critical, high-speed, or globally deployed industrial power and control systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum forward current rating for DPC817W-B-TU?
The absolute maximum forward current (IF) is 60 mA per the datasheet's Maximum Ratings table. Continuous operation above 50 mA requires thermal derating; typical design uses 5–20 mA to balance CTR stability, LED lifetime (>100,000 hours at 10 mA), and response speed. Exceeding 60 mA risks irreversible LED degradation.
Does DPC817W-B-TU support linear analog signal transmission?
No-it is optimized for digital switching and pulse transmission, not linear analog isolation. Its CTR nonlinearity (±15% variation over IF = 1–20 mA) and 18 µs response time limit fidelity for analog signals above ~5 kHz. For linear applications, Diodes' ALM2402 or ISO124-based solutions are recommended.
Can DPC817W-B-TU be used in AEC-Q101 qualified automotive designs?
While DPC817W-B-TU meets AEC-Q101 test conditions per Diodes' quality documentation, it is not officially AEC-Q101 qualified. Automotive-grade variants (e.g., DPC817W-B-TU-AQ) require PPAP submission and IATF 16949-manufactured lots-contact Diodes directly for qualified part numbers and change control documentation.
What is the creepage and clearance distance for the MDIP-4 package?
The MDIP-4 package provides ≥7.62 mm creepage and ≥5.08 mm clearance between input (pins 1–2) and output (pins 3–4) terminals, validated per IEC 60664-1 for Pollution Degree 2 and Material Group IIIa. This satisfies reinforced insulation requirements for 300 V RMS working voltage in industrial environments.
