Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the HCPL-2612#300 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Voltage isolation rating: 3750Vrms
• Single channel line receiver configuration
• Common mode transient immunity: 4.6kV/µs minimum
• Output current capability: 50mA per channel
• Propagation delay specifications: 75ns maximum (both tpLH and tpHL)
• Supply voltage range: 4.5V to 5.5V
• Package type: 8-DIP Gull Wing surface mount
• Operating temperature range: -40°C to 85°C

The HCPL-2612-300E qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical electrical specifications and package configuration. The primary distinction is product status and compliance certification level.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The HCPL-2612-300E is the direct functional equivalent of the HCPL-2612#300. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including isolation voltage, channel configuration, timing parameters, and package format.

The HCPL-2612-300E offers two significant advantages for new designs and ongoing procurement:

1. Active product status ensures continued availability and supply chain stability
2. ROHS3 compliance aligns with current environmental and regulatory requirements, whereas the HCPL-2612#300 is RoHS non-compliant

For applications where RoHS compliance is not a constraint, both parts are electrically and mechanically interchangeable. For new designs or procurement requiring regulatory compliance, the HCPL-2612-300E is the appropriate selection.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the HCPL-2612#300 and HCPL-2612-300E pin-for-pin compatible?

A: Yes. Both components use the 8-DIP Gull Wing surface mount package with identical pinout and electrical characteristics.

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The HCPL-2612-300E is the active production variant with ROHS3 compliance. The HCPL-2612#300 is discontinued and RoHS non-compliant. All electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Can I use the HCPL-2612-300E as a direct replacement in existing designs?

A: Yes. The HCPL-2612-300E is a direct substitute with no design modifications required. Electrical performance, timing, and package dimensions are identical.

Q: Does the RoHS compliance difference affect circuit performance?

A: No. RoHS compliance relates to material composition and environmental standards, not electrical performance. Both parts deliver identical functional characteristics.

Q: What packaging options are available for the HCPL-2612-300E?

A: The HCPL-2612-300E is supplied in Tube packaging, whereas the HCPL-2612#300 was supplied in standard packaging. Both use the same 8-DIP Gull Wing component format.

Q: Are there any thermal or reliability differences between these parts?

A: No. Both components share identical operating temperature ranges (-40°C to 85°C), moisture sensitivity levels (MSL 1), and thermal characteristics.
