The TLP385(D4-GB,E delivers 5000Vrms isolation in a 4-lead SOIC footprint — enough for reinforced insulation in mains-referenced PSU feedback loops and PLC digital input modules. The CTR floor of 100% at 5mA forward current (max 600%) means the LED drive can be set conservatively without losing output saturation at 80V/50mA, even over the full -55°C to 110°C range.
Switching speed and saturation — timing margin for digital isolation
Typical turn-on/turn-off times are 3µs each, with rise/fall of 2µs/3µs. That puts the usable switching frequency around 100 kHz for logic-level signals — adequate for 24V PLC input debounce, relay coil drive, and isolated I²C bit-banging. The 300mV max Vce(sat) at 50mA output keeps the low-side voltage drop inside a logic-high threshold for 3.3V or 5V domains.
Package and mounting — 4-lead SOIC vs 6-lead trade-off
The two unused centre pins (2,3) are omitted, which increases creepage distance between input and output for the 5000Vrms rating. Surface-mount assembly with standard SOIC-6 solder paste stencil; no exposed pad to worry about.
Lifecycle and supply posture
RoHS compliant. Sourced per RFQ against your BOM quantity; no stock-holding claim on this page.
