Product details

5300 Vrms isolation, 2.5 A peak gate drive

The VOD3120AB-T2 is a single-channel optocoupler with an IGBT/MOSFET driver output, delivering 2.5 A peak output current across a 15 V to 30 V supply range. The 5300 Vrms isolation rating meets reinforced insulation requirements for motor drives, inverters, and industrial power supplies. Common-mode transient immunity is specified at 35 kV/µs minimum, which keeps the output state stable when fast switching edges couple across the isolation barrier in a noisy inverter half-bridge.

Switching speed and timing margins

Pulse-width distortion is capped at 70 ns, which preserves the duty cycle accuracy for PWM signals driving the gate. The 1.37 V typical forward voltage and 20 mA maximum forward current align with standard 5 V logic interfaces, so a series resistor from a microcontroller GPIO is sufficient to bias the LED.

Active lifecycle, surface-mount package

The part carries approvals from CQC, cUL, UL, and VDE, which simplifies compliance for equipment destined for North American, European, or Chinese markets.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between VOD3120AB-T2 and VOD3120A?

The VOD3120AB-T2 is the Tape & Reel variant of the base VOD3120A. The AB suffix indicates the 8-SMD Gull Wing package; the -T2 suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging. Electrical specs — 2.5 A peak output, 5300 Vrms isolation, 35 kV/µs CMTI — are identical across the family.

Can VOD3120AB-T2 replace VOD3120AB?

Yes, the VOD3120AB-T2 is functionally identical to the VOD3120AB. The only difference is the packaging format: -T2 indicates Tape & Reel. The die, isolation rating, and output drive are the same. Confirm that your pick-and-place feeder accepts the reel quantity before substituting.
