SFH615A-3 from Vishay Intertech, in a DIP-4. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.
Pinout
| Pin | Name | Type | Function |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | A | passive | Anode of the GaAs infrared emitter diode; the absolute maximum DC forward current is 60 mA and the reverse voltage is 6 V. |
| 2 | C | passive | Cathode of the GaAs infrared emitter diode; the emitter is rated for 60 mA DC forward current and 70 mW LED power dissipation at 25 °C. |
| 3 | E | passive | Emitter of the silicon planar phototransistor detector; the emitter-collector voltage VECO is rated at 7 V maximum. |
| 4 | C | passive | Collector of the silicon planar phototransistor detector; the collector-emitter voltage VCEO is rated at 70 V and the collector current IC at 50 mA. |
