Galvanic isolation for 5 kV working voltage
The FOD817B300W is a single-channel optoisolator from onsemi that provides 5000Vrms isolation between a DC-input LED and a phototransistor output. This isolation rating is the key parameter for safety barriers in AC mains-powered equipment, motor drives, and industrial I/O modules where the controller side must be protected from high-voltage transients on the field side. The 4-DIP through-hole package (0.400-inch lead spacing) is a standard footprint for optocouplers, making it a drop-in fit for many existing PCB layouts designed for the FOD817 family.
CTR bin B and switching speed profile
The B current-transfer-ratio bin guarantees 130% to 260% CTR at a forward current of 5 mA. Within the FOD817 family, the B bin sits between the A bin and the C bin.
