PC367N2 Optoisolator Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PC367N2 is a 3750Vrms optoisolator with transistor output, designed for single-channel isolation applications in 4-Mini-Flat surface mount packaging. This component features a current transfer ratio of 200–400% at 500µA input and supports output currents up to 50mA with maximum output voltage of 80V. The PC367N2 is classified as obsolete, making identification of active equivalent parts essential for ongoing design support and procurement continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the PC367N2 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Isolation voltage rating: 3750Vrms
• Single-channel configuration
• Current transfer ratio range: 200–400% @ 500µA
• Transistor output topology
• Maximum output specifications: 80V, 50mA
• Switching characteristics: 4µs rise time, 3µs fall time
• Operating temperature range: -30°C to 100°C
• Package and pinout: 4-SMD, Gull Wing (4-Mini-Flat)

The PC367N2J000F meets all these criteria and is identified as a direct substitute. This part maintains identical electrical performance and mechanical compatibility while offering active product status and improved compliance certification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The PC367N2J000F is the direct substitute for the obsolete PC367N2. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical across all specified parameters. The primary distinction is product status: PC367N2J000F is actively manufactured and supported, whereas PC367N2 is obsolete.

An additional advantage of PC367N2J000F is its ROHS3 compliance certification, compared to the non-compliant status of the original PC367N2. This compliance improvement supports regulatory requirements in applications subject to RoHS directives.

Selection of PC367N2J000F is appropriate for new designs, redesigns, and ongoing production of existing applications originally specified with PC367N2.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can PC367N2J000F be used as a direct replacement for PC367N2?

A: Yes. PC367N2J000F is electrically and mechanically equivalent to PC367N2. All critical parameters—isolation voltage, current transfer ratio, output specifications, switching characteristics, and package configuration—are identical. The substitute is pin-compatible and requires no circuit modifications.

Q: What is the primary reason to transition from PC367N2 to PC367N2J000F?

A: PC367N2 is classified as obsolete, creating supply and long-term availability risks. PC367N2J000F is an active product with established supply chains and manufacturing continuity. Additionally, PC367N2J000F carries ROHS3 compliance certification, whereas PC367N2 does not.

Q: Are there any differences in packaging or handling between these parts?

A: Both parts use identical 4-SMD, Gull Wing packaging (4-Mini-Flat). Moisture sensitivity level is the same (MSL 1 – Unlimited) for both. No differences in handling, storage, or assembly procedures are required.

Q: What parameters must remain constant for substitution to be valid?

A: Isolation voltage (3750Vrms), channel count (1), current transfer ratio range (200–400% @ 500µA), output type (transistor), maximum output voltage (80V), maximum output current (50mA), switching times (4µs rise, 3µs fall), operating temperature range (-30°C to 100°C), and package type (4-Mini-Flat) must all match exactly.

Q: Is inventory availability a consideration in selecting PC367N2J000F?

A: PC367N2J000F has 1700 pieces in stock as an active product, compared to 881 pieces of the obsolete PC367N2. Active product status ensures continued availability for future procurement cycles.
