Product details
Overview
LH1501BABTR from Vishay Semiconductors is a Form B (normally closed) solid-state relay with SMD-6 package, 350 V load voltage rating, 20 Ω typical on-resistance (AC/DC), and 3750 VRMS input-output isolation. It replaces electromechanical relays in telecom switching, security equipment, and industrial controls using infrared LED actuation and photodiode-driven MOSFET output stage.
For engineers reviewing the LH1501BABTR datasheet, LH1501BABTR pinout, LH1501BABTR application, or LH1501BABTR equivalent, key selection criteria include bidirectional 150 mA DC load current capability, clean bounce-free switching, UL/VDE agency approvals, and tape-and-reel SMD-6 packaging for automated assembly.
Technical Context
The LH1501BABTR integrates an infrared LED input stage optically coupled to a photodiode array that drives dual MOSFETs configured as a normally closed (Form B) AC/DC switch. Its hybrid multi-chip construction enables zero-crossing–free operation and bidirectional conduction without external snubbers.
Control logic is fully self-contained: no external gate drivers or bias networks are required. The device supports both AC and DC loads up to 350 V, with turn-on/turn-off times of 2–3 ms and 1–3 ms respectively at 5 mA LED drive current and 50 mA load current.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar solid-state relay applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vishay LH1501BT | DIP-6 through-hole package; identical electrical specs but different mounting and soldering profile (wave vs. reflow). | Preferred for prototyping, manual assembly, or legacy wave-soldered boards where SMD placement is impractical. | Select LH1501BT when board assembly uses through-hole processes or requires hand-soldering flexibility. |
| IXYS CPC1976Y | Form A (normally open) configuration; 400 V load rating; 35 Ω typical RON; same SMD-6 footprint but non-pin-compatible pinout. | Requires PCB redesign due to reversed output polarity and different pin assignment (e.g., output on pins 3/4 instead of 4/5/6). | Choose CPC1976Y only if normally open behavior and higher voltage margin are prioritized over drop-in replacement. |
Compared with LH1501BT and CPC1976Y, the LH1501BABTR uniquely delivers Form B functionality in a reflow-compatible SMD-6 package with industry-leading 20 Ω RON and UL/VDE certification-making it optimal for automated production of safety-isolated, fail-safe industrial controls.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous load current rating for LH1501BABTR?
The LH1501BABTR supports 150 mA continuous DC load current in bidirectional mode and 200 mA in unidirectional mode. These ratings are validated across the full -40 °C to +85 °C ambient temperature range per Vishay Document 83805. Exceeding these values may trigger thermal derating or reduce lifetime reliability. The LH1501BABTR datasheet specifies peak single-shot current up to 350 mA for 100 ms.
Does LH1501BABTR support AC load switching?
Yes, the LH1501BABTR is explicitly rated for AC/DC operation with a 350 V peak load voltage. Its internal dual-MOSFET output stage enables symmetrical conduction without zero-crossing circuitry, allowing direct switching of 120/230 VAC loads. The LH1501BABTR maintains 20 Ω typical on-resistance and <1 μA off-state leakage under full AC stress per its electrical characteristics table.
What is the isolation voltage rating of LH1501BABTR and which standards does it meet?
The LH1501BABTR provides 3750 VRMS input-to-output isolation for 1 second at ≤10 μA leakage, meeting UL 1577 and VDE 0884-10 requirements. This reinforced insulation rating is verified per Vishay Document 83805 and supports use in applications requiring basic or reinforced isolation per IEC 61000-4-5 and IEC 60950-1. The LH1501BABTR is not rated for medical or life-support systems.
Can LH1501BABTR be driven directly from a microcontroller GPIO?
Yes-the LH1501BABTR has a low LED turn-on threshold of 0.2–0.9 mA at 25 °C, enabling direct drive from most 3.3 V or 5 V microcontroller GPIOs without external current-limiting resistors in low-speed applications. For robustness across temperature and voltage variation, a 1 kΩ series resistor is recommended. The LH1501BABTR input stage tolerates up to 5 V reverse voltage and 50 mA continuous forward current.
What is the difference between LH1501BABTR and LH1501BT?
The LH1501BABTR and LH1501BT share identical electrical specifications-including 350 V load voltage, 20 Ω RON, and 3750 VRMS isolation-but differ in package: LH1501BABTR uses SMD-6 for surface-mount reflow assembly, while LH1501BT uses DIP-6 for through-hole wave soldering. Pinouts are functionally equivalent but mechanically incompatible. The LH1501BABTR marking includes "TR" suffix denoting tape-and-reel packaging.
