SFH617A-2

Vishay Intertech · Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators · DIP-4

SFH617A-2 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; forward current IF is rated up to 60 mA and reverse voltage VR up to 6 V.
2 C passive Cathode of the GaAs infrared emitter; forward surge current is rated up to 2.5 A for tp ≤ 10 µs and LED power dissipation up to 70 mW at 25 °C.
3 E passive Emitter of the silicon planar phototransistor; emitter-collector voltage VECO is rated up to 7 V.
4 C passive Collector of the silicon planar phototransistor; collector-emitter voltage VCEO is rated up to 70 V and collector current IC up to 50 mA.
