Product details
Overview
LH1525AABTR from Vishay Semiconductors is a surface-mount, 1-Form-A solid-state relay (SSR) with GaAlAs LED input and MOSFET output, rated for 400 V load voltage and 250 mA DC-only continuous load current, featuring 5300 VRMS isolation and clean bounce-free switching - ideal for battery-powered telecom and industrial control interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the LH1525AABTR datasheet, LH1525AABTR pinout, LH1525AABTR application, or LH1525AABTR equivalent, this device offers verified low-drive operation (as low as 0.9 mA turn-on), sub-1 ms switching speed, and SMD-6 packaging compatible with automated assembly - critical for space-constrained, safety-isolated, low-power switching designs.
Technical Context
The LH1525AABTR integrates an infrared GaAlAs LED optically coupled to dual-MOSFET output stage, enabling galvanic isolation without mechanical contacts. Its AC/DC configuration supports up to 125 mA load current, while the DC-only mode delivers lower on-resistance (5–8.25 Ω) and higher current capacity (250 mA).
Switching timing is tightly controlled: typical turn-on time is 0.15 ms at 5 mA LED drive, and turn-off time is 0.05 ms under same conditions. Isolation performance meets UL, cUL, VDE, and FIMKO safety standards with 5300 VRMS withstand voltage and ≥7 mm creepage/clearance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Load Voltage Rating | 400 V - supports direct switching of 240 VAC mains or 350 VDC industrial bus lines without external snubbers |

| 2 (Cathode) | LED Cathode Input | Ground reference for LED circuit; polarity-sensitive - reverse connection blocks activation |
| 3 (Source) | MOSFET Source Terminal | Common return path for load current; tied to system ground in low-side switch configuration |
| 4 (Drain) | MOSFET Drain Terminal | High-side load connection point; handles full 400 V load voltage swing |
| 5 (NC) | No Connect | Internally unconnected; must remain floating - no PCB trace or component attachment |
| 6 (NC) | No Connect | Internally unconnected; must remain floating - ensures isolation integrity and avoids parasitic coupling |

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 VO3120 | Higher 600 V load rating but 150 mA DC current; DIP-6 package only; slower 0.5 ms turn-on | Better suited for 480 VAC industrial motor controls where voltage margin outweighs speed needs | Select VO3120 when 400 V rating is insufficient and board space permits through-hole mounting |
| IXYS CPC1976Y | Same SMD-6 package; 400 V/150 mA rating; 1.2 mA min. turn-on current; 10 pF output capacitance vs. 6–39 pF in LH1525AABTR | Lower drive sensitivity and higher CO limit use in high-frequency switching or RF-adjacent layouts | Choose CPC1976Y only if legacy compatibility with existing footprint is required and 250 mA load current is not needed |
Compared with VO3120 and CPC1976Y, the LH1525AABTR uniquely balances ultra-low drive (0.9 mA), high DC current (250 mA), and SMD-6 manufacturability - making it optimal for next-generation portable and modular industrial electronics where power efficiency, density, and reliability are co-prioritized.

FAQ
What is the minimum LED forward current required to activate the LH1525AABTR?
The LH1525AABTR activates with as little as 0.9 mA LED forward current under standard test conditions (IL = 100 mA, t = 10 ms). This ultra-low threshold enables direct drive from low-power microcontrollers and extends battery life in portable systems. The LH1525AABTR maintains reliable turn-on down to 0.001 mA in off-state leakage tests, confirming robust optical coupling efficiency.
Can the LH1525AABTR switch AC loads, and what are its limitations?
Yes, the LH1525AABTR supports AC/DC configurations with a 400 V peak load voltage rating and 125 mA continuous AC/DC current. However, its AC-mode on-resistance is higher (22–36 Ω) than DC mode (5–8.25 Ω), resulting in greater conduction loss. For pure AC switching above 60 Hz, ensure load voltage remains within derated limits per Fig. 5 and avoid zero-crossing-sensitive applications due to lack of built-in zero-voltage switching.
What safety certifications does the LH1525AABTR hold, and how do they impact system design?
The LH1525AABTR is certified to UL 1577 (5300 VRMS), cUL, VDE EN 60747-5-5, and FIMKO standards, with ≥7 mm creepage and clearance and 0.4 mm minimum insulation thickness. These ratings allow its use in reinforced insulation barriers without additional protective components - simplifying compliance for Class I/II medical devices, industrial PLCs, and telecom infrastructure meeting IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 surge immunity.
How does the LH1525AABTR handle thermal management in continuous operation?
The LH1525AABTR dissipates up to 550 mW continuously in SSR output mode, with safe operating area defined by ambient temperature and load current. At 25 °C, it supports full 250 mA DC current; at 85 °C, maximum DC load drops to ~140 mA per Fig. 5. PCB layout must provide ≥1 cm² copper pour under pins 3–4 and avoid enclosing the device in sealed enclosures without airflow.
Are pins 5 and 6 on the LH1525AABTR internally connected or usable as auxiliary terminals?
Pins 5 and 6 on the LH1525AABTR are explicitly designated as "No Connect" (NC) in the datasheet and internal construction - they are unconnected to any internal circuitry. These pins must remain electrically floating on the PCB; routing traces, adding bypass capacitors, or grounding them compromises isolation integrity and may induce leakage or failure. The LH1525AABTR relies on strict NC handling to maintain its 5300 VRMS isolation rating.
