Product Overview

The EL_EL817-G supports a 50-600% current transfer ratio at IF=5 mA and VCE=5 V. Input-output isolation is rated at 5000 Vrms for AC 1 minute with pins 1-2 shorted and pins 3-4 shorted, and creepage distance between input and output is greater than 7.62 mm. Operating temperature is -55 to 110 °C, with storage temperature from -55 to 125 °C.

The package options include standard DIP-4, a wide-lead bend M option with 0.4 inch spacing, and SMD S1/S2 lead forms. Assembly data includes 260 °C soldering for 10 seconds, reflow preheat from 150-200 °C for 60-120 seconds, 217 °C liquidus temperature, 60-100 seconds above liquidus, 260 °C peak reflow temperature, and up to 3 reflow cycles. These facts support use in isolated signal coupling, DIP board mounting, and SMD tape-and-reel assembly workflows.
