Product details

5000Vrms isolation in a 6-SOIC 4-lead package

The Toshiba TLP388(GB-TPR,E is a single-channel transistor-output optocoupler in a 6-SOIC 4-lead surface-mount package. It provides 5000Vrms galvanic isolation between a DC input LED and a phototransistor output rated for 350V collector-emitter voltage and 50mA continuous current. The current transfer ratio spans 100% to 600% at a 5mA forward current, giving the designer headroom to accommodate LED degradation over temperature and operating life.

Temperature range and output voltage — fit for harsh environments

The 350V output maximum allows direct interface to 277VAC line-monitoring circuits, 48V telecom rails, and 400V-class DC bus voltage sensing when paired with an appropriate input resistor. The 400mV Vce saturation at 50mA keeps power dissipation low in the output transistor, reducing self-heating in the 6-SOIC package.

Frequently asked questions

Is TLP388(GB-TPR,E obsolete?

No. It remains suitable for new designs.

What is the closest functional equivalent to TLP388(GB-TPR,E?

The TLP388(GB-TPL,E is a functional equivalent with identical DC input, single-channel transistor output, 5000Vrms isolation, 350V VCEO, and the same 100-600% CTR range. The difference is in the packaging and reel format — the TPR suffix denotes Tape & Reel with Cut Tape option, while TPL adds Digi-Reel® availability. Both are active and RoHS compliant.
