Product details
Overview
LH1502BAC from Vishay Semiconductors is a dual 1 Form A/B, C solid-state relay (SSR) with optically isolated MOSFET outputs, designed for telecom and industrial switching. It features 350 V load voltage, 150 mA continuous load current, 20 Ω typical on-resistance, 3750 VRMS input-to-output isolation, and SMD-8 package for surface-mount reliability in space-constrained systems.
For engineers reviewing the LH1502BAC datasheet, LH1502BAC pinout, LH1502BAC application, or LH1502BAC equivalent, key selection criteria include form-A/B/C configuration flexibility, current-limit protection, bounce-free switching, and UL/VDE agency approvals for safety-critical signal routing.
Technical Context
The LH1502BAC integrates two independent optically coupled channels: one normally open (Form A) and one normally closed (Form B), configurable together as a single-pole double-throw (Form C) relay. Each channel uses an infrared LED input driving a photodiode array that controls matched MOSFET switches with integrated current-limit circuitry.
Its hybrid multi-chip construction enables high-voltage isolation (3750 VRMS) and clean switching without mechanical contact wear. The device operates across -40 °C to +85 °C ambient and supports lead-free reflow soldering per J-STD-020, with moisture sensitivity level 1 and unlimited floor life under controlled humidity.
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 LH1502BB | DIP-8 through-hole package; identical electrical specs and pinout mapping but different mounting method | Preferred for prototyping, legacy board repair, or wave-soldered industrial controllers where SMT is impractical | Select LH1502BB when manual assembly, reworkability, or compatibility with existing DIP footprints is required |
| Toshiba TLP3558A | Single-channel Form A SSR; 400 V load voltage, 120 mA current, 0.25 Ω RON, but lacks Form B/NC functionality | Used only where unidirectional switching suffices; cannot replicate LH1502BAC's Form C or ground-fault latching behavior | Choose TLP3558A only for cost-sensitive, single-pole NO applications with lower RON priority and no NC requirement |
Compared with LH1502BB and TLP3558A, the LH1502BAC uniquely delivers dual-form (A+B/C), SMD-8 packaging, and integrated current limiting in a single component-enabling compact, safety-certified, and functionally complete relay replacement without external protection or layout redesign.

FAQ
What is the maximum ambient temperature rating for the LH1502BAC?
The LH1502BAC is rated for continuous operation from -40 °C to +85 °C ambient temperature. Its maximum load current derates linearly above 25 °C, reaching 120 mA at +60 °C and 90 mA at +85 °C per the datasheet Fig. 1 and Fig. 2. Thermal design must account for internal power dissipation (up to 600 mW) and PCB copper area to maintain safe junction temperatures.
Does the LH1502BAC support Form C (SPDT) operation?
Yes, the LH1502BAC supports true 1 Form C operation by using its independent Form A (S1/S1′) and Form B (S2/S2′) outputs together. When the Form A channel is activated and Form B is deactivated, the common terminal behaves as a single-pole double-throw switch. This configuration is explicitly validated in the device description and supported by the pin labeling (S1, S1′, S2, S2′) and functional truth table in the Vishay datasheet.
What is the minimum LED forward current required to reliably actuate the LH1502BAC's Form A (NO) output?
The LH1502BAC Form A output turns on with a typical LED forward current of 0.6 mA and a maximum of 2 mA at 25 °C (IFon, NO). For robust operation across temperature and unit variation, Vishay recommends designing for ≥1.0 mA drive. The device remains fully specified down to 0.4 mA, but margin below 0.6 mA may reduce speed or increase RON variability.
How does the current limit protection function in the LH1502BAC?
The LH1502BAC incorporates internal current-limit circuitry that activates when load current exceeds 270–380 mA (ILMT), clamping the output to prevent damage. This feature operates independently per channel and does not require external components. During overload, the device sustains the current limit without latch-up and recovers automatically once the fault clears, preserving MOSFET integrity in surge-prone telecom environments.
Is the LH1502BAC RoHS-compliant and halogen-free?
Yes, the LH1502BAC is RoHS-compliant and halogen-free per Vishay's material categorization standard (document 99912). It meets JEDEC J-STD-020 lead-free reflow requirements, has MSL Level 1 rating, and carries no restricted substances above threshold limits. Full compliance documentation, including test reports and declarations, is available via Vishay's official product page and technical support portal.
