Isolation voltage and CTR window for the BOM
The CNY17F3TVM provides 4170Vrms of galvanic isolation, which meets the reinforced-isolation requirement for mains-referenced circuits in industrial PSUs, motor drives, and PLC digital inputs. The current transfer ratio is specified as a min of 100% and a max of 200% at an LED forward current of 10 mA — that 2:1 spread means the pull-up resistor on the output side must be sized for the weakest unit, not the typical. Nominal is not absolute max; the datasheet's absolute-maximum table limits the LED forward current to 60 mA and the output collector current to 50 mA.
Switching speed and output drive
Turn-on time is 2 µs typical, turn-off 3 µs typical, with rise and fall times of 4 µs and 3.5 µs max respectively.
The 6-DIP through-hole package (0.400-inch body width, 10.16 mm) is the standard industrial optocoupler footprint — it mates with existing wave-solder processes and is easy to hand-rework.
