Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the HCPL-2602#500 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Voltage isolation rating: 3750Vrms
• Single channel configuration
• Line receiver functionality
• Common mode transient immunity: 1kV/µs minimum
• Output current per channel: 50mA
• Propagation delay specifications: 75ns maximum (both tpLH and tpHL)
• Supply voltage range: 4.5V to 5.5V
• Operating temperature range: -40°C to 85°C
• Package type: 8-SMD, Gull Wing
• Approval agencies: CSA, UR certification

The HCPL-2602-500E meets all specified electrical and mechanical parameters, differing only in packaging format (Tape & Reel versus individual unit) and product status (Active versus Discontinued).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The HCPL-2602-500E is the direct equivalent for the discontinued HCPL-2602#500. Both components share identical electrical specifications and mechanical packaging requirements. The primary distinction is product status: the HCPL-2602-500E is currently active in production, whereas the HCPL-2602#500 is discontinued.

An additional consideration is regulatory compliance: the HCPL-2602-500E carries ROHS3 compliance, while the HCPL-2602#500 is RoHS non-compliant. For applications subject to RoHS requirements, the HCPL-2602-500E provides compliance alignment. Both components maintain CSA and UR certifications and identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications.

Packaging format differs between the two parts: the HCPL-2602#500 is supplied as individual units, while the HCPL-2602-500E is supplied in Tape & Reel format. This distinction affects procurement and assembly processes but does not impact electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the HCPL-2602-500E directly replace the HCPL-2602#500 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The HCPL-2602-500E is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the HCPL-2602#500. All critical parameters—isolation voltage, channel count, propagation delay, output current, supply voltage, and operating temperature range—are identical. The 8-DIP Gull Wing package is the same for both parts.

Q: What is the difference between the HCPL-2602#500 and HCPL-2602-500E?

A: The parts are functionally identical. The HCPL-2602-500E is the active production variant, while the HCPL-2602#500 is discontinued. The HCPL-2602-500E is supplied in Tape & Reel packaging, whereas the HCPL-2602#500 was supplied as individual units. The HCPL-2602-500E also carries ROHS3 compliance.

Q: Does the Tape & Reel packaging of the HCPL-2602-500E affect compatibility?

A: No. Tape & Reel is a supply format used for automated assembly processes. The component itself—the die, leads, and electrical characteristics—remains unchanged. The 8-DIP Gull Wing package specification is identical for both parts.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: The HCPL-2602-500E is ROHS3 compliant, while the HCPL-2602#500 is RoHS non-compliant. Both maintain CSA and UR certifications. For applications requiring RoHS compliance, the HCPL-2602-500E is the appropriate selection.

Q: What is the isolation voltage rating, and is it the same for both parts?

A: Both parts provide 3750Vrms isolation. This rating is identical across the HCPL-2602#500 and HCPL-2602-500E.

Q: Can I use the HCPL-2602-500E in high-temperature applications?

A: Yes. The operating temperature range for the HCPL-2602-500E is -40°C to 85°C, identical to the HCPL-2602#500. Both parts are rated for the same thermal operating window.
