Product details
Overview
LH1540AABTR from Vishay Semiconductors is a 1-Form-A solid-state relay (SSR) with GaAlAs LED input and MOSFET output, delivering 5300 VRMS isolation, 22 Ω typical on-resistance (AC/DC), 350 V load voltage rating, and 120 mA continuous AC/DC load current - deployed in telecom switching and ground fault protection circuits.
For engineers reviewing the LH1540AABTR datasheet, LH1540AABTR pinout, LH1540AABTR application, or LH1540AABTR equivalent, this device is selected for high-isolation, bounce-free switching in safety-critical industrial controls and instrumentation where electromechanical relay replacement is required without sacrificing reliability or lifetime.
Technical Context
The LH1540AABTR integrates an infrared LED optically coupled to dual-MOSFET output stage, enabling galvanic isolation between control and load sides. Its architecture supports both AC and DC load configurations with distinct RON (22 Ω typ. AC/DC vs. 5.2 Ω typ. DC-only) and IL ratings (120 mA vs. 250 mA).
It meets DIN EN 60747-5-5 (VDE 0884) and UL/cUL safety standards, with 8000 VPEAK transient isolation voltage, 7 mm creepage/clearance, and ≥0.4 mm insulation thickness - confirming suitability for reinforced insulation in functional safety designs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Isolation Voltage | 5300 VRMS - enables safe separation of control logic (e.g., microcontroller GPIO) from 350 V AC/DC loads in telecom and industrial systems. |
| On-Resistance (AC/DC) | 22 Ω typical - limits I²R power loss to ≤132 mW at 120 mA, supporting thermally constrained PCB layouts. |
| Load Voltage Rating | 350 V - supports direct interface with standard AC mains (230 VRMS) and high-voltage DC bus monitoring applications. |
| Continuous Load Current | 120 mA (AC/DC), 250 mA (DC-only) - defines maximum sustainable switching capacity depending on load type and thermal management. |
| Turn-On / Turn-Off Time | 0.13 ms / 0.05 ms typical - ensures fast, deterministic switching for pulse-width modulated control and digital signal routing. |
| Input Forward Current (Turn-On) | 0.3–2 mA - allows direct drive from low-power MCU outputs without external amplification. |
| Off-State Leakage | <1 nA at ±100 V, 6 nA at ±350 V - guarantees minimal false triggering in high-impedance sensing or battery-backed circuits. |
Pinout & Package
SMD-6 surface-mount package (7.25 mm × 6.65 mm × 2.54 mm height), RoHS-compliant, moisture sensitivity level 1, lead-free reflow compatible per J-STD-020.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Anode) | LED Anode Input | Connects to positive side of current-limited LED driver; requires series resistor for IF control (e.g., 5 mA @ 3.3 V → ~600 Ω). |
| 2 (Cathode) | LED Cathode Input | Ground reference for input LED; polarity-sensitive - reverse connection prevents activation. |
| 3 (Source) | MOSFET Source Terminal | Common return path for load current; tied to system ground or negative rail in DC-only configuration. |
| 4 (Drain) | MOSFET Drain Terminal | High-side switch node; connects to load's high-potential side (e.g., AC line hot or DC+). |
| 5 (Load +) | AC/DC Load Terminal (+) | Used only in AC/DC configuration; connects to one side of bidirectional load (e.g., AC solenoid or heater). |
| 6 (Load –) | AC/DC Load Terminal (–) | Used only in AC/DC configuration; completes bidirectional current path across internal back-to-back MOSFETs. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

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 LH1540AT | DIP-6 through-hole package; identical electrical specs and safety ratings. | Preferred for prototyping, manual assembly, or legacy board designs requiring through-hole mounting. | Select LH1540AT when SMT reflow capability is unavailable or mechanical robustness under vibration is prioritized. |
| IXYS CPC1976Y | 4000 VRMS isolation; 1.2 Ω RON; 250 mA load current; SOIC-6 package. | Better suited for low-RON, high-current DC loads but lacks 350 V AC rating and VDE 0884 certification. | Choose CPC1976Y only for DC-only applications demanding sub-ohm conduction loss - not for AC or safety-certified designs. |
Compared with LH1540AT, the LH1540AABTR offers identical performance in a space-saving SMD-6 footprint ideal for high-density telecom modules; versus CPC1976Y, it trades lower RON for certified 350 V AC operation and full VDE/UL safety compliance - making it the sole choice for AC-coupled ground fault and telecom line switching.

FAQ
What is the maximum load voltage the LH1540AABTR can safely switch?
The LH1540AABTR supports a maximum DC or peak AC load voltage of 350 V. This rating applies to both AC/DC and DC-only configurations and is validated per UL 1577 and DIN EN 60747-5-5. Exceeding this voltage risks breakdown of the internal MOSFET output stage and compromises isolation integrity - always verify actual peak voltage including transients in the target application before deploying LH1540AABTR.
Does the LH1540AABTR require an external current-limiting resistor on the input LED?
Yes, the LH1540AABTR requires an external series resistor to limit forward current to ≤50 mA absolute maximum. For reliable turn-on at 0.3–2 mA, a typical design uses 5 mA at 3.3 V or 5 V logic - e.g., a 680 Ω resistor for 3.3 V MCU drive. Omitting this resistor risks permanent LED degradation and reduced LH1540AABTR lifetime.
Can the LH1540AABTR be used in AC-only load configurations?
No - the LH1540AABTR supports only two configurations: AC/DC (using pins 5 and 6) and DC-only (using pins 3 and 4). It does not support AC-only operation. For pure AC loads, the AC/DC mode must be used, which employs back-to-back MOSFETs to handle bidirectional current flow - confirmed by the pinout diagram and electrical characteristics table in the LH1540AABTR datasheet.
What safety certifications does the LH1540AABTR hold?
The LH1540AABTR is certified to UL 1577 (5300 VRMS), cUL, DIN EN 60747-5-5 (VDE 0884), and FIMKO. These cover reinforced insulation, transient overvoltage (8000 VPEAK), and pollution degree 2 compliance. Certification documentation is included in Vishay document 83833, revision 2.2, and applies specifically to the LH1540AABTR SMD-6 variant.
How does the LH1540AABTR's on-resistance vary between AC/DC and DC-only modes?
In AC/DC mode (pins 5–6 active), LH1540AABTR exhibits 22 Ω typical on-resistance; in DC-only mode (pins 3–4 active), it drops to 5.2 Ω typical. This difference arises from parallel conduction paths in DC mode versus series-connected MOSFETs in AC mode. Designers must select the correct pin configuration and derate power dissipation accordingly - e.g., 550 mW max in AC/DC vs. higher thermal margin in DC-only.
