Product details
Overview
LH1520AAC from Vishay Semiconductors is a dual-channel, 1 Form A solid-state relay (SSR) featuring GaAlAs LED input control and MOSFET output switches. It delivers 350 V load voltage capability, 140 mA per-channel DC load current at 25 °C, and 22 Ω typical on-resistance - replacing electromechanical relays in telecom line interface and industrial control applications requiring bounce-free switching and 5300 VRMS isolation.
For engineers reviewing the LH1520AAC datasheet, LH1520AAC pinout, LH1520AAC application, or LH1520AAC equivalent, this device is selected for high-isolation AC/DC load switching where low power consumption, clean turn-on/turn-off timing (0.13 ms / 0.05 ms typ.), and SMD-8 surface-mount compatibility are critical design requirements.
Technical Context
The LH1520AAC integrates two independent optically isolated SPST-NO SSR channels in a single SMD-8 package. Each channel uses a GaAlAs infrared LED to drive a pair of back-to-back MOSFETs, enabling bidirectional AC or unidirectional DC load switching up to 350 V with <1 nA off-state leakage at ±100 V.
Its safety-rated insulation complies with UL 1577 (5300 VRMS), DIN EN 60747-5-5 (VIORM = 890 Vpeak), and CQC GB4943.1, supported by ≥7 mm creepage/clearance and ≥0.4 mm insulation thickness - making it suitable for reinforced insulation in telecom and industrial equipment operating across –40 to +85 °C ambient.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Isolation Voltage | 5300 VRMS - enables reinforced insulation per UL/cUL/VDE standards without external barrier design |
| Load Voltage Rating | 350 V - supports direct switching of POTS line voltages, ring signals, and industrial AC/DC control loads |
| Per-Channel Load Current | 140 mA at 25 °C - sufficient for on/off hook detection, dial pulse generation, and ground start circuits |
| On-Resistance | 22 Ω typical - limits I²R heating to <220 mW at 100 mA, enabling compact PCB layout without heatsinking |
| Turn-On/Off Time | 0.13 ms / 0.05 ms typical - ensures precise timing for telecom signaling (e.g., dial pulse width control) |
| Input Forward Current (Turn-On) | 0.25 mA typical - allows direct drive from low-power microcontrollers or logic gates without buffer stages |
| Off-State Leakage | <1 nA at ±100 V - prevents false triggering in high-impedance instrumentation and fault detection circuits |
Pinout & Package
SMD-8 package (9.80 × 6.65 mm, 1.00 mm height), RoHS-compliant, moisture sensitivity level 1, lead-free reflow compatible per J-STD-020.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2 | LED Anode / Cathode (Channel 1) | Optically isolates input control signal; requires series resistor for 5–10 mA drive |
| 3, 4 | LED Anode / Cathode (Channel 2) | Independent second control path; enables dual-line supervision or redundant switching |
| 5, 6 | Output Terminal A / B (Channel 1) | MOSFET switch terminals - bidirectional for AC, polarity-insensitive for DC loads |
| 7, 8 | Output Terminal A / B (Channel 2) | Electrically isolated from Channel 1 outputs; supports independent load control |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent SSR channels | Reduces component count vs. two discrete SSRs; enables synchronized or isolated load control in single footprint |
| 5300 VRMS isolation rating | Meets reinforced insulation requirements for telecom interface circuits without additional creepage barriers |
| Clean bounce-free switching | Eliminates contact arcing and EMI in sensitive analog/digital systems - critical for dial pulse and ring delay accuracy |
| Low 0.25 mA turn-on LED current | Enables direct interfacing with 3.3 V/5 V GPIOs or open-collector drivers without level-shifting or amplification |
| 140 mA per-channel load current | Supports full POTS line interface functions including on-hook/off-hook detection and ground fault monitoring |
Applications
| Telecom Line Interface | Industrial PLC I/O Module |

FAQ
What is the maximum ambient temperature for continuous operation of the LH1520AAC?
The LH1520AAC operates continuously across –40 °C to +85 °C ambient temperature. At +85 °C, its per-channel load current derates to 100 mA (dual-channel operation) or 140 mA (single-channel), as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. Thermal design must ensure junction temperature remains within safe limits using the provided safety power dissipation curves.
Does the LH1520AAC support AC load switching?
Yes, the LH1520AAC supports bidirectional AC load switching up to 350 V peak due to its back-to-back MOSFET output configuration. Its 5300 VRMS isolation rating and 890 Vpeak repetitive peak isolation voltage meet safety requirements for AC mains-connected telecom and industrial applications.
What is the minimum LED forward current required to turn on the LH1520AAC?
The LH1520AAC turns on with as little as 0.05 mA LED forward current (IFoff min), and typical turn-on occurs at 0.25 mA (IFon typ) under standard test conditions (IL = 100 mA, t = 10 ms). This ultra-low drive requirement allows direct connection to low-power microcontrollers without external drivers.
How does the LH1520AAC achieve bounce-free switching?
The LH1520AAC achieves bounce-free switching through its solid-state MOSFET output architecture - eliminating mechanical contacts entirely. Unlike electromechanical relays, it has no contact wear, arcing, or vibration-induced transient states, delivering deterministic turn-on (0.13 ms typ) and turn-off (0.05 ms typ) timing every cycle.
Is the LH1520AAC RoHS-compliant and halogen-free?
Yes, the LH1520AAC is RoHS-compliant and halogen-free per Vishay's material categorization standard (document 99912). Its SMD-8 package uses lead-free terminations and conforms to JEDEC J-STD-020 reflow profiles, with moisture sensitivity level 1 for unlimited floor life under controlled humidity conditions.
