Its 5000Vrms isolation voltage rating is the headline parameter — this is the part you reach for when a galvanic barrier is required between a microcontroller I/O and a high-voltage domain, such as in an industrial motor drive, a switch-mode power supply feedback loop, or a medical patient-interface circuit where reinforced insulation is called for. The 4-SMD gull-wing package fits standard pick-and-place and reflow processes, and the 100% to 300% current transfer ratio at 5mA forward current gives the designer a predictable range for sizing the collector load resistor and guaranteeing a logic-level swing across the isolation gap. ## CTR band and switching speed — what they mean for logic isolation With a minimum CTR of 100% at 5mA forward current, the phototransistor can sink at least 5mA at the output side — enough to pull a 10kΩ pull-up to a clean logic low for a 5V CMOS or TTL input. The 300% maximum CTR means the designer should not over-drive the LED beyond the 60mA absolute maximum forward current. The 70V output breakdown and 50mA continuous output current give headroom for driving a relay coil or a small MOSFET gate with an external driver transistor. ## Temperature range: -55°C to 110°C The operating temperature span from -55°C to 110°C covers industrial outdoor cabinets, engine-bay electronics, and telecom base-station equipment where ambient heat can push junction temperatures above 85°C. The CTR will shift with temperature — expect a slight increase at low temperatures and a decrease above 70°C — so the 100% minimum CTR at 25°C provides margin for the hot-end droop. The 1.43V typical forward voltage at the LED is standard for an IR emitter and easy to drive from a 3.3V or 5V GPIO through a current-limiting resistor.","metaTitle":"VO615A-6X017T Vishay Optocoupler, 5000Vrms, 100-300% CTR","metaDescription":"VO615A-6X017T Vishay optocoupler: 5000Vrms isolation, transistor output, 100-300% CTR at 5mA, -55 to 110°C, 4-SMD gull wing.

This 100-300% band is the '6' binning group in Vishay's VO615A family."},{"question":"Can VO615A-6X017T be used for 5V logic isolation?","answer":"Yes. With a minimum CTR of 100% at 5mA forward current, the output transistor can sink enough current to pull a 5V CMOS or TTL input low through a standard pull-up resistor. The 70V output rating and 50mA output current provide ample margin for 5V logic levels. Switching speed (3µs rise, 4.7µs fall) limits the data rate to roughly 100 kbps, so it works for status signals, fault flags, or slow serial links like 100 kHz I²C."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"icboms-matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://icboms.com/vishay/VO615A-6X017T","citationPolicyUrl":"https://icboms.com/llms.txt","source":"ICBOMS","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"ICBOMS\" and link https://icboms.com/vishay/VO615A-6X017T when reusing this data.
