HCPL-260L#560 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The HCPL-260L#560 is a logic output optoisolator manufactured by Broadcom Limited, designed for high-speed digital isolation applications. It features a 3750Vrms isolation voltage, 15MBd data rate, and open collector Schottky clamped output in an 8-DIP gull wing surface mount package. This part is discontinued at DiGi Electronics, making equivalent substitutes necessary for ongoing production and maintenance applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the HCPL-260L#560 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Isolation Voltage: 3750Vrms minimum
• Number of Channels: 1 channel
• Output Configuration: Open Collector, Schottky Clamped
• Data Rate: 15MBd minimum
• Common Mode Transient Immunity: 10kV/µs minimum
• Package Type: 8-DIP Gull Wing surface mount
• Supply Voltage Range: 2.7V ~ 3.6V and 4.5V ~ 5.5V compatibility
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C ~ 85°C

The direct substitute HCPL-260L-560E meets all these parameters identically. Additional cross-manufacturer substitutes (FOD260LSD, ACPL-C61L-560E, ACPL-W61L-560E, FOD260LS, HCPL2601SD) are listed as functional equivalents based on matching electrical and mechanical specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The HCPL-260L-560E is the primary substitute for the HCPL-260L#560. Both parts are manufactured by Broadcom Limited and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The key distinction is product status: the original part is discontinued, while the HCPL-260L-560E is active. Additionally, the HCPL-260L-560E is ROHS3 compliant, whereas the original part is RoHS non-compliant. The packaging format differs (Tape & Reel versus bulk), which may affect procurement workflows but does not impact functional compatibility.

For applications requiring RoHS3 compliance or long-term supply assurance, the HCPL-260L-560E is the recommended selection. Cross-manufacturer substitutes listed in the part data (FOD260LSD, ACPL-C61L-560E, ACPL-W61L-560E, FOD260LS, HCPL2601SD) are functionally equivalent based on matching isolation voltage, data rate, output configuration, and package specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the HCPL-260L-560E be used as a direct replacement for the HCPL-260L#560?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The HCPL-260L-560E is the active production equivalent with identical isolation voltage (3750Vrms), data rate (15MBd), output configuration (open collector Schottky clamped), and package type (8-DIP gull wing). The primary difference is product status and RoHS compliance.

Q: What is the difference between the HCPL-260L#560 and HCPL-260L-560E?

A: The HCPL-260L#560 is discontinued and RoHS non-compliant, while the HCPL-260L-560E is an active product with ROHS3 compliance. Electrical specifications and package type are identical. Packaging format differs: the original is supplied in bulk, while the substitute is supplied in Tape & Reel format.

Q: Are the cross-manufacturer substitutes (FOD260LSD, ACPL-C61L-560E, ACPL-W61L-560E, FOD260LS, HCPL2601SD) compatible?

A: These parts are functionally equivalent based on matching isolation voltage, data rate, output type, and package specifications. Compatibility depends on verification of all electrical parameters against your specific application requirements.

Q: Does the Tape & Reel packaging of the HCPL-260L-560E affect compatibility?

A: No. Tape & Reel is a packaging and delivery format only. It does not affect the electrical or mechanical properties of the component itself. The part is functionally identical to bulk-packaged versions.

Q: Is RoHS3 compliance required for my application?

A: This depends on your application and regulatory requirements. If RoHS3 compliance is mandatory, the HCPL-260L-560E is the appropriate selection. The original HCPL-260L#560 is RoHS non-compliant.
