Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the HCPL-0530#500 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

  • Isolation Voltage: 3750Vrms (mandatory match)
  • Number of Channels: 2 (mandatory match)
  • Output Type: Transistor (mandatory match)
  • Current Transfer Ratio Range: 7% to 50% @ 16mA (mandatory match)
  • Turn On / Turn Off Time: 200ns, 1.3µs (mandatory match)
  • Maximum Output Voltage: 20V (mandatory match)
  • Output Current per Channel: 8mA (mandatory match)
  • Package / Case: 8-SOIC (0.154", 3.90mm Width) (mandatory match)
  • Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 100°C (mandatory match)

The HCPL-0530-500E meets all these criteria as a parametric equivalent from the same manufacturer and base product series.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The HCPL-0530-500E is the direct parametric equivalent for the discontinued HCPL-0530#500. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical isolation, switching, and output parameters. The primary distinction is product status: the HCPL-0530-500E maintains active availability with ROHS3 compliance certification, whereas the original part is discontinued and RoHS non-compliant. For new designs or ongoing production requiring this optoisolator specification, the HCPL-0530-500E provides full functional compatibility with improved regulatory compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the HCPL-0530-500E be used as a direct replacement for the HCPL-0530#500?

A: Yes. Both parts are identical in electrical performance, isolation voltage, channel count, output type, switching characteristics, and 8-SOIC package dimensions. The HCPL-0530-500E is the active equivalent.

Q: What is the difference between HCPL-0530#500 and HCPL-0530-500E?
