Product details
Overview
LH1502BACTR from Vishay Semiconductors is a dual 1 Form A/B, C solid-state relay in SMD-8 package, integrating infrared LED actuation with photodiode-driven MOSFET output switches. It provides independent normally open (NO) and normally closed (NC) channels, 350 V load voltage rating, 150 mA continuous load current, and 20 Ω typical on-resistance for telecom and industrial control switching.
For engineers reviewing the LH1502BACTR datasheet, LH1502BACTR pinout, LH1502BACTR application, or LH1502BACTR equivalent, key selection criteria include isolation voltage (3750 VRMS), bounce-free switching behavior, current-limit protection, and SMD tape-and-reel packaging compatibility with automated assembly.
Technical Context
The LH1502BACTR implements optically isolated control via an internal IR LED coupled to a photodiode array that drives complementary MOSFETs for NO and NC outputs. Its hybrid multi-chip construction enables simultaneous form A and form B operation or coordinated form C (SPDT) switching without mechanical contacts.
It delivers clean, zero-crossing–free switching with turn-on times as low as 0.2 ms (typ.) for both NO and NC paths, and incorporates built-in current-limit circuitry that activates at ~290 mA to protect against transient overloads while maintaining stable RON across temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Isolation Voltage | 3750 VRMS - Enables safe interface between low-voltage logic and 350 V AC/DC loads in telecom and industrial systems. |
| Load Voltage Rating | 350 V - Supports direct switching of standard POTS line voltages and industrial AC control signals. |
| Continuous Load Current | 150 mA - Sufficient for driving relays, solenoids, small indicators, and telecom interface circuits. |
| Typical On-Resistance | 20 Ω - Ensures low conduction loss and minimal self-heating under full-load conditions. |
| Turn-On Time (NO/NC) | 0.2–3.8 ms (typ.) - Enables precise timing-critical switching in dial pulse generation and ring delay applications. |
| Off-State Leakage | <1 μA (NO/NC) - Guarantees high signal integrity and low standby power in always-on instrumentation circuits. |
| Current Limit Threshold | 290 mA (typ.) - Provides robust short-circuit protection without external components in field-deployed equipment. |
Pinout & Package

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2 | LED Anode / Cathode | Optical input path; requires 0.6–2 mA forward current to activate NO switch; 0.4–2 mA to deactivate NC switch. |

| 5, 6 | NC Output Source / Drain | Normally closed channel; opens when LED is energized; maintains continuity until actuated. |
| 7, 8 | Common / Return | Shared output reference node; connects to load return path for both NO and NC channels in form C configuration. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Clean bounce-free switching | Eliminates contact arcing and signal chatter in telecom hook-switch emulation and ground-start circuits. |

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 but incompatible with SMT assembly. | Used in prototyping, low-volume industrial controls, or legacy board designs requiring through-hole mounting. | Select LH1502BB only when manual soldering or socket-based testing is required; not suitable for automated production. |
| Toshiba TLP3558A | Single-pole, normally open SSR; 400 V load rating, 120 mA current, no NC channel; 1500 VRMS isolation. | Applicable where only NO switching is needed and lower isolation suffices; lacks form C functionality. | Choose TLP3558A for cost-sensitive single-channel applications with less stringent isolation requirements; cannot replace LH1502BACTR in SPDT designs. |
Compared with LH1502BB and TLP3558A, the LH1502BACTR uniquely combines SMD-8 manufacturability, dual NO/NC topology, 3750 VRMS isolation, and integrated current limiting-making it the only option for high-reliability, automated telecom line card production requiring true form C operation.

FAQ
What is the maximum ambient operating temperature for the LH1502BACTR?
The LH1502BACTR supports continuous operation from -40 °C to +85 °C. At 85 °C, its maximum load current derates to approximately 90 mA for form A and 60 mA for form B, as shown in Figure 1 of the Vishay datasheet (Doc. #83806). This thermal performance ensures reliable use in enclosed telecom cabinets and industrial enclosures without forced cooling.
Does the LH1502BACTR require an external current-limiting resistor on the LED side?
Yes, the LH1502BACTR requires an external series resistor to limit LED forward current to ≤2 mA for reliable NO turn-on and ≤2 mA for NC turn-off, based on its specified IFon/IFoff ranges. With VF = 1.26 V (typ.) at 10 mA, a 1 kΩ resistor is typical for 3.3 V GPIO drive; exact value depends on supply voltage and desired switching speed.
Can the LH1502BACTR be used as a true SPDT (form C) switch?
Yes, the LH1502BACTR is explicitly designed as a dual 1 Form A/B, C solid-state relay. Pins 3–4 constitute the NO path, pins 5–6 the NC path, and pins 7–8 serve as the common node. When wired correctly, it functions as a break-before-make SPDT switch with guaranteed isolation between poles, validated per Vishay's application notes and absolute maximum ratings.
What is the off-state leakage current specification for the LH1502BACTR?
The LH1502BACTR specifies off-state leakage current as ≤1000 nA for the NO channel and ≤1 μA for the NC channel at ±100 V, with a worst-case limit of ≤1 μA for both at ±200 V. These values are measured with specified LED bias conditions (IF = 0 mA for NO, IF = 5 mA for NC) and ensure minimal signal corruption in high-impedance instrumentation paths.
Is the LH1502BACTR compliant with RoHS and REACH regulations?
Yes, the LH1502BACTR is RoHS-compliant (per Vishay Doc. #99912) and REACH-conformant. Its SMD-8 package uses lead-free terminations, and material declarations confirm absence of SVHC substances above threshold limits. Compliance documentation is available via Vishay's product portal using document number 83806.
