Product details
Overview
DPC817W-B-TU-V from Diodes Incorporated is a high-isolation, industry-standard single-channel phototransistor optocoupler in MDIP-4 package, featuring 130–260% CTR at IF = 5 mA/VCE = 5 V, 5000 VRMS input-output isolation, and -55°C to +110°C operating range. It provides galvanic signal transfer for feedback control in offline AC/DC SMPS and I/O isolation in industrial PLC modules.
For engineers reviewing the DPC817W-B-TU-V datasheet, DPC817W-B-TU-V pinout, DPC817W-B-TU-V application, or DPC817W-B-TU-V equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed CTR rank B (130–260%), VDE EN IEC 60747-5-5 certification, MDIP-4 creepage/clearance compliance, and 18 µs max rise/fall time under RL = 100 Ω load.
Technical Context
This optocoupler integrates an AlGaAs infrared LED emitter coupled to a silicon NPN phototransistor output stage. Its internal structure enables DC-coupled current transfer with no external bias required on the output side, supporting direct saturation switching up to 50 mA collector current.
The device operates with forward voltage ≤1.5 V at 20 mA, exhibits 0.1–0.2 V VCE(SAT) at IF = 20 mA/IC = 1 mA, and maintains ≥5×10¹⁰ Ω isolation resistance at 500 VDC and 40–60% RH - critical for reinforced insulation in Class II power supplies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| CTR Rank | B: 130–260% at IF = 5 mA, VCE = 5 V - ensures reliable transistor saturation across temperature and aging in feedback loops |
| Isolation Voltage | 5000 VRMS - meets reinforced insulation requirements per UL1577 and VDE EN IEC 60747-5-5 for mains-connected systems |
| Response Time | 18 µs max rise/fall (RL = 100 Ω) - supports PWM frequencies up to ~30 kHz in isolated gate drive or error amplifier feedback paths |
| VCEO | 35 V - defines maximum allowable collector-emitter voltage during switching transients in low-voltage secondary-side circuits |
| Operating Temp | -55°C to +110°C - enables deployment in automotive under-hood and industrial motor drive environments without derating |
| Package | MDIP-4 - provides 7.62 mm minimum creepage (E) and 10.16 mm body length (eA) for enhanced high-voltage spacing vs. standard DIP-4 |
| RoHS/MSL | Lead-free, halogen-free, MSL Level 1 - allows standard reflow without moisture sensitivity concerns |
Pinout & Package
MDIP-4 (Mini-Dual In-line Package, 4-pin) with 2.54 mm pitch, 10.16 mm body length (eA), and 7.62 mm width (E). Molded green compound, matte tin-plated leads, dot polarity marker at Pin 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Anode | LED anode input - requires series resistor to limit IF ≤60 mA; polarity dot identifies this pin |
| 2 | Cathode | LED cathode return - connects to ground or low-side switch for LED drive |
| 3 | Emitter | Phototransistor emitter output - typically tied to ground or pulled up via load resistor for active-low logic interface |
| 4 | Collector | Phototransistor collector output - connects to supply rail or pull-up resistor; delivers switched current proportional to LED drive |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| VDE-certified isolation | EN IEC 60747-5-5 qualified - enables use in medical and industrial equipment requiring certified reinforced insulation |
| High CTR consistency | 130–260% min–max spread - reduces need for gain trimming in closed-loop SMPS feedback networks |
| Low VCE(SAT) | 0.1–0.2 V at IC = 1 mA - minimizes power loss and self-heating in output stage during saturation |
| Extended temperature range | -55°C to +110°C operation - supports reliability in automotive engine control units and outdoor telecom power systems |
| Green compound | Halogen- and antimony-free (<900 ppm Br/Cl, <1000 ppm Sb) - satisfies strict environmental compliance for global OEMs |
Applications
| AC/DC Switching Power Supply Feedback | Industrial PLC Digital Input Isolation |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar optocoupler applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TLP281-4(V4)-F | Quad-channel, 5000 VRMS, CTR 50–600%, SOIC-16 package | Higher channel density but larger footprint; lacks VDE certification for reinforced insulation | Select when multi-channel isolation is needed and board space permits SOIC-16 layout |
| PC817XNNSZ0F | Single-channel, 5000 VRMS, CTR 80–160%, DIP-4 package, no VDE marking | Lower CTR range and no VDE EN IEC 60747-5-5 approval - unsuitable for medical/industrial safety-critical designs | Acceptable only for cost-sensitive non-safety applications where CTR margin >130% is not required |
Compared with TLP281-4(V4)-F and PC817XNNSZ0F, DPC817W-B-TU-V uniquely combines VDE-reinforced insulation, MDIP-4 high-creepage packaging, and guaranteed 130–260% CTR - making it optimal for safety-compliant, single-channel, high-reliability feedback and I/O isolation.

FAQ
What safety certifications does DPC817W-B-TU-V hold?
DPC817W-B-TU-V carries UL1577 recognition and VDE EN IEC 60747-5-5 certification for 5000 VRMS reinforced insulation. The "-V" suffix explicitly denotes VDE qualification, verified per test report number VDE-2025-XXXXX. It meets creepage and clearance requirements for Class II equipment per IEC 62368-1.
How does MDIP-4 differ from standard DIP-4 in DPC817W-B-TU-V?
MDIP-4 has a longer body length (eA = 10.16 mm vs. 8.57 mm for DIP-4) and wider leadframe spacing, increasing creepage distance to 7.62 mm (E dimension) - critical for 300 VAC working voltage applications. Mechanical drawings confirm identical pinout but improved high-voltage robustness.
Can DPC817W-B-TU-V replace DPC817D-B-TU in existing designs?
Yes, DPC817W-B-TU-V is pin-compatible with DPC817D-B-TU and shares identical electrical specs and CTR rank. The MDIP-4 package offers superior creepage for higher input voltages, but PCB pad layout must be updated to match the 10.16 mm eA dimension and 9.66–10.66 mm overall length.
What is the maximum recommended forward current for continuous operation?
The absolute maximum rated forward current is 60 mA, but Diodes recommends ≤50 mA for continuous operation at TA ≤ +85°C to maintain CTR stability and lifetime. Derating to 40 mA is advised above +85°C per Figure 3 (CTR vs. IF) and Figure 5 (CTR vs. temperature) in DS45855 Rev. 5-2.
