Product details
Overview
LH1529BAC from Vishay Semiconductors is a surface-mount telecom switch integrating a solid-state relay (SSR) and a bidirectional optocoupler in one SMD-8 package. It delivers 5300 VRMS input/output isolation, 100 % minimum CTR, 20 Ω typical on-resistance, 350 V load voltage, and 120 mA continuous load current - enabling reliable on/off hook control and ring detection in legacy telephony systems.
For engineers reviewing the LH1529BAC datasheet, LH1529BAC pinout, LH1529BAC application, or LH1529BAC equivalent, key selection criteria include verified SSR RON, optocoupler CTR ≥100 %, isolation voltage compliance, turn-on/turn-off timing (1.3–2.5 ms), and SMD-8 footprint compatibility with telecom line interface cards.
Technical Context
The LH1529BAC implements dual functional blocks: a zero-crossing-capable SSR for clean bounce-free switching of analog telecom signals, and a bidirectional phototransistor optocoupler for loop current sensing and ring detection. Both share a common 5300 VRMS isolation barrier and operate across –40 °C to +85 °C ambient.
Its SSR section features current-limit protection (210 mA typical), low power consumption (<600 mW total dissipation), and clean switching without contact wear. The optocoupler provides bidirectional current detection with CTRDC ≥100 % at IF = 6 mA and VCE = 0.5 V, supporting accurate DC loop monitoring.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Isolation Voltage | 5300 VRMS - meets reinforced insulation requirements for telecom line-side safety |
| SSR On-Resistance | 20 Ω typical - ensures minimal signal attenuation and voltage drop in 350 V AC/DC load paths |
| Optocoupler CTR | ≥100 % min. - enables robust loop current sensing under low-drive conditions (IF = 6 mA) |
| Load Voltage Rating | 350 V - supports operation across global POTS line voltages including ringing (≈90 V RMS) and off-hook DC (≈−48 V) |
| Turn-On/Off Time | 1.3–2.5 ms - matches telecom dial-pulse timing and prevents false hook-state transitions |
| Package | SMD-8 - surface-mount compatible with automated assembly; footprint matches JEDEC MS-012 |
| Ambient Temp Range | –40 °C to +85 °C - qualified for industrial-grade telecom equipment operating in uncontrolled environments |
Pinout & Package
SMD-8 package with 2.54 mm lead pitch, 7.62 mm body width, and gull-wing leads. Pin 1 marked by notch or dot; coplanarity ≤0.1 mm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2 | SSR Input Anode/Cathode | Drive LED to activate SSR; bidirectional capability allows polarity-insensitive connection |
| 4, 6 | SSR Output (Load Terminals) | Switched AC/DC path; pins 4 and 6 are interchangeable ± terminals for symmetrical load connection |
| 7, 8 | Optocoupler Collector/Emitter | Bidirectional phototransistor output; supports loop current sensing in either direction |
| 3, 5 | Internal Tie / No Connect | Internally connected to substrate; must be left floating or tied to ground per layout guidelines |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated SSR + Optocoupler | Reduces BOM count and PCB area vs. discrete solutions while maintaining 5300 VRMS isolation between both functions |
| Current-Limit Protection | 210 mA typical trip threshold prevents latch-up during surge events on telecom lines |
| Bidirectional Optocoupler | Enables single-device ring detection and loop current monitoring without external polarity-reversal circuitry |
| Clean Bounce-Free Switching | Eliminates mechanical contact chatter, critical for accurate pulse dialing and hook-state reporting |
| Low Power Consumption | ≤600 mW total dissipation allows use in thermally constrained line card designs without heatsinking |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar telecom switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vishay LH1529BB | DIP-8 package; identical electrical specs (CTR ≥100 %, RON = 20 Ω, 5300 VRMS) | Through-hole mounting only; not suitable for SMT production lines | Select LH1529BB only when legacy DIP-8 footprint or manual assembly is required |
| Vishay LH1529GPTR | SMD-8 package; higher CTR (min. 165 %); same SSR specs; RoHS-compliant, halogen-free | Designed for new designs requiring extended CTR margin and modern environmental compliance | Choose LH1529GPTR for new telecom hardware where enhanced CTR and green compliance are mandatory |
Compared with LH1529BAC, LH1529BB offers identical performance in a through-hole format but requires PCB redesign for SMT migration, while LH1529GPTR provides superior CTR and environmental compliance at no footprint cost - making it the preferred upgrade path for new designs.

FAQ
What is the isolation voltage rating of the LH1529BAC and how is it validated?
The LH1529BAC is rated for 5300 VRMS input-to-output isolation, tested for 60 seconds per UL1577 and FIMKO standards. This value is confirmed in the Vishay datasheet (Document Number 83827, Rev. 1.5) and applies to both the SSR and optocoupler sections. The LH1529BAC achieves this via internal double-molded construction and creepage/clearance distances exceeding 8 mm, ensuring compliance with IEC 60950-1 for telecom safety.
Does the LH1529BAC support bidirectional current detection in the optocoupler section?
Yes, the LH1529BAC optocoupler supports true bidirectional current detection - its phototransistor output responds identically to current flow in either direction across pins 7 and 8. This is explicitly stated in the Vishay datasheet under "Optocoupler" features and verified in the electrical characteristics table, enabling single-device ring detection and loop monitoring without external polarity logic.
What is the typical on-resistance of the LH1529BAC SSR and why does it matter for telecom applications?
The LH1529BAC SSR has a typical on-resistance of 20 Ω, with a maximum of 25 Ω. This low RON minimizes voltage drop across the switched path - critical for maintaining sufficient loop current (>20 mA) during off-hook conditions in POTS systems. At 120 mA load current, the drop is only ~2.4 V, preserving line voltage headroom for signaling and battery feed.
Is the LH1529BAC still in production, and what support is available for legacy designs?
No - the LH1529BAC reached End of Life in January 2018 per Vishay documentation. However, Aetrix Electronics maintains verified legacy stock with full traceability and offers lifecycle coordination services. For designs using LH1529BAC, we provide last-time-buy planning, cross-reference validation to LH1529GPTR, and engineering support for migration paths.
How does the current-limit protection function in the LH1529BAC SSR section?
The LH1529BAC SSR incorporates internal current-limit protection that activates at 210 mA typical (170–250 mA range). When load current exceeds this threshold, the device clamps current to prevent thermal runaway - essential for surviving lightning-induced surges and short-circuit transients on telecom lines. This behavior is documented in the "Electrical Characteristics" table under "Current limit" for LH1529BAC/LH1529BACTR variants.
