PC942 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The PC942 Series from Sharp Microelectronics is an OPIC photocoupler featuring an IRED optically coupled to an OPIC chip. It is housed in a standard 8-pin DIP package, making it suitable for flow soldering processes.

 

This high-power photocoupler boasts an input-output isolation voltage of 5.0 kV (rms) and a high common mode rejection voltage of MIN. 10 kV/µs. It provides a fast response time with propagation delays (tPHL, tPLH) of MAX. 5µs. The device is designed for applications requiring high isolation and fast switching, such as inverter controlled air conditioners and small capacity general purpose inverters.

 

Key electrical characteristics include an input type of DC, a voltage rating of 1.1 V, and output current capabilities of up to 500mA (DC) or 2.0A (pulse). The operating temperature range is -20°C to 80°C. The package resin meets UL flammability grade 94V-0.

 

Agency approvals include recognition by UL1577 (File No. E64380) as model PC942, with UR approval.
