VISHAY CNY17-2 Optocoupler 1 Channel 60 mA 5 kV DIP-6

The VISHAY CNY17-2 Optocoupler is a 1-channel device with a 5 kV isolation rating, supplied in a standard DIP-6 package. It provides electrical isolation between input and output circuits, helping to enhance safety and prevent ground loops in sensitive electronic systems.

Overview

The CNY17-2 consists of an infrared gallium arsenide emitting diode optically coupled to a silicon NPN phototransistor, with a phototransistor output featuring a base connection. It offers a minimum Current Transfer Ratio (CTR) of 63%, supporting coupling for both digital and analogue applications. The unit can be used in place of electromechanical relays and transformers in many interface scenarios, and is designed for long-term stability and reduced size.

Key Features

• Isolation test voltage of 5000 Vrms between input and output
• 1-channel configuration with phototransistor output and base connection
• Infrared gallium arsenide emitting diode and silicon NPN phototransistor
• Minimum Current Transfer Ratio (CTR) of 63%
• Maximum forward current of 60 mA and collector-emitter voltage rating of 80 V
• Compact DIP-6 package suitable for PCB mounting

Applications

Suitable for digital logic interfacing, analogue applications such as CRT display modulation, and mains-connected or high-voltage environments where safe separation is required. It is also referenced for use in power supplies, industrial controls, and data acquisition systems.

Choose the VISHAY CNY17-2 Optocoupler where a DIP-6 optocoupler with 5 kV isolation and a 63% minimum CTR is required to separate input and output circuits.
