Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the ACPL-827-36CE are qualified based on the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

• Number of Channels: Must be 2
• Voltage - Isolation: Must be 5000Vrms
• Output Type: Must be Transistor
• Current - Output / Channel: Must be 50mA
• Package / Case: Must be 8-SMD, Gull Wing
• Mounting Type: Must be Surface Mount
• Input Type: Must be DC
• RoHS Status: Must be ROHS3 Compliant

The identified substitutes (LTV-827S and LTV-827S-TA1) meet all mandatory electrical and mechanical compatibility criteria. Differences in Current Transfer Ratio range and maximum output voltage are within acceptable tolerance for this product category and do not prevent functional substitution in standard applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts—ACPL-827-36CE, LTV-827S, and LTV-827S-TA1—are active products with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating. Selection between these parts should be based on:

1. Voltage - Output (Max): The ACPL-827-36CE supports 70V maximum output, while both Lite-On substitutes support 35V maximum. Applications requiring output voltages above 35V must use the ACPL-827-36CE.

2. Current Transfer Ratio Range: The ACPL-827-36CE specifies 200–400% CTR, while substitutes specify 50–600% CTR. Applications with strict CTR requirements should verify the specific operating point.

3. Operating Temperature: Lite-On parts support -30°C to 110°C, providing 10°C additional upper temperature margin compared to the ACPL-827-36CE (-30°C to 100°C).

4. Packaging Format: LTV-827S is supplied in Tube packaging, while LTV-827S-TA1 is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® format. Select based on procurement and assembly requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can LTV-827S or LTV-827S-TA1 be used as direct replacements for ACPL-827-36CE?

A: Both Lite-On parts meet the core electrical and mechanical compatibility criteria for 2-channel, 5000Vrms isolation optoisolators with transistor output in 8-SMD packages. However, the lower maximum output voltage (35V vs. 70V) on the Lite-On parts may limit substitution in applications requiring higher output voltage capability.

Q: What is the difference between LTV-827S and LTV-827S-TA1?

A: Both parts are electrically identical. The difference is packaging format: LTV-827S is supplied in Tube, while LTV-827S-TA1 is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® format. Select based on your assembly process requirements.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: All three parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry MSL 1 (unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating. No compliance differences exist.

Q: What should I consider when switching from ACPL-827-36CE to an LTV-827S variant?

A: Verify that your application does not require output voltages exceeding 35V. Confirm that the Current Transfer Ratio range (50–600%) is acceptable for your circuit design. Both Lite-On parts support the same operating temperature minimum (-30°C) but extend to 110°C, which may be beneficial for high-temperature applications.

Q: Is the 8-SMD, Gull Wing package identical across all three parts?

A: Yes. All three parts use the same 8-SMD, Gull Wing surface mount package, ensuring mechanical and footprint compatibility on PCBs.
