Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the HCPL-5730#200 are classified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional equivalence:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Voltage - Isolation: 1500VDC (mandatory match)
• Output Type: Darlington (mandatory match)
• Package / Case: 8-DIP (0.300", 7.62mm) (mandatory match)
• Current Transfer Ratio (Min): 200% @ 5mA (mandatory match)
• Vce Saturation (Max): 110mV (mandatory match)
• Operating Temperature: -55°C ~ 125°C (mandatory match)

Secondary Consideration:

• Number of Channels: The HCPL-5730#200 features 2 channels. Single-channel variants (HCPL-5700, HCPL-5701) are functionally equivalent for applications requiring single-channel isolation but represent a design change rather than a direct pin-for-pin substitute.

Identified Substitute Groups:

Group 1 - Direct 2-Channel Equivalents (Pin-for-Pin Compatible):

• HCPL-5730 (standard variant)
• 5962-8978501PA (military/aerospace qualified variant)

Group 2 - Single-Channel Equivalents (Functional Equivalents, Design Change Required):

• HCPL-5700
• HCPL-5701

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Pin-for-Pin Replacement (2-Channel Applications):

Select HCPL-5730 as the primary substitute for HCPL-5730#200. Both parts are identical in electrical and mechanical specifications and maintain full pin compatibility. HCPL-5730 carries ROHS3 compliance, providing an advantage for applications subject to RoHS regulations, whereas HCPL-5730#200 is RoHS non-compliant.

Select 5962-8978501PA when military or aerospace qualification is required. This part maintains identical electrical specifications and package compatibility while meeting military-grade standards. Availability and procurement lead times may differ from commercial variants.

For Single-Channel Applications (Design Change):

HCPL-5700 and HCPL-5701 are functionally equivalent single-channel optoisolators suitable for applications requiring only one isolation channel. Both parts carry ROHS3 compliance. Circuit redesign is required to accommodate the single-channel configuration, as pinout differs from the 2-channel HCPL-5730#200.

Compliance Considerations:

Applications requiring RoHS3 compliance should transition to HCPL-5730, HCPL-5700, or HCPL-5701. The HCPL-5730#200 and 5962-8978501PA do not meet RoHS3 requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can HCPL-5730 directly replace HCPL-5730#200 without circuit modification?

A: Yes. HCPL-5730 is electrically and mechanically identical to HCPL-5730#200 and maintains full pin compatibility. No circuit modification is required for direct substitution.

Q: What is the difference between HCPL-5730#200 and 5962-8978501PA?

A: Both parts are electrically identical with matching isolation voltage (1500VDC), channel count (2), output type (Darlington), and package (8-DIP). The 5962-8978501PA designation indicates military or aerospace qualification. Selection depends on application requirements for military-grade standards.

Q: Can I use HCPL-5700 or HCPL-5701 as substitutes for HCPL-5730#200?

A: HCPL-5700 and HCPL-5701 are functionally equivalent in electrical performance but feature single-channel output instead of dual-channel. Direct substitution requires circuit redesign to accommodate the different pinout and channel configuration. These parts are suitable only for applications requiring single-channel isolation.

Q: What are the key parameters that determine substitution compatibility?

A: Substitution compatibility is determined by: isolation voltage (1500VDC), number of channels (2 for direct replacement), output type (Darlington), current transfer ratio (200% @ 5mA), maximum Vce saturation (110mV), operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C), and package type (8-DIP through-hole). All parameters must match for pin-for-pin compatibility.

Q: Are there RoHS compliance differences between substitute parts?

A: Yes. HCPL-5730, HCPL-5700, and HCPL-5701 are ROHS3 compliant. HCPL-5730#200 and 5962-8978501PA are RoHS non-compliant. Applications subject to RoHS regulations should use compliant variants.

Q: What inventory levels are available for each substitute part?

A: HCPL-5730#200: 665 Pcs; 5962-8978501PA: 914 Pcs; HCPL-5730: 914 Pcs; HCPL-5700: 2160 Pcs; HCPL-5701: 1250 Pcs. Inventory availability may change; verify current stock before procurement.

Q: Is the 8-DIP package compatible across all substitute parts?

A: Yes. All substitute parts use the 8-DIP (0.300", 7.62mm) through-hole package. Physical mounting and PCB footprint compatibility is maintained across all listed substitutes, with the exception that single-channel variants (HCPL-5700, HCPL-5701) have different pinout assignments due to reduced channel count.
