PS2802-4-F3-A Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PS2802-4-F3-A is a 4-channel optoisolator with Darlington output, rated for 2500Vrms isolation voltage. This component is manufactured by CEL and is classified as discontinued at DiGi Electronics. The part operates across a temperature range of -55°C to 100°C and is designed for surface mount applications in 16-SOIC packaging.

Due to the discontinued status of the original PS2802-4-F3-A from CEL, equivalent substitutes from Renesas Electronics Corporation are available. These alternatives maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications while offering active product status and improved supply chain availability.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the PS2802-4-F3-A is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Number of Channels: 4 channels (fixed requirement)
• Voltage - Isolation: 2500Vrms (fixed requirement)
• Current Transfer Ratio (Min): 200% @ 1mA (fixed requirement)
• Output Type: Darlington (fixed requirement)
• Voltage - Output (Max): 40V (fixed requirement)
• Current - Output / Channel: 100mA (fixed requirement)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 100°C (fixed requirement)
• Package / Case: 16-SOIC (0.173", 4.40mm Width) (fixed requirement)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount (fixed requirement)

All substitute parts listed maintain these electrical and mechanical specifications. Variations in packaging format (Strip, Cut Tape & Digi-Reel®, Tape & Reel) and product status do not affect functional equivalence.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Recommendation: PS2802-4-F3-A (Renesas Electronics Corporation)

The Renesas PS2802-4-F3-A is the direct parametric equivalent to the discontinued CEL PS2802-4-F3-A. This part carries Active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain stability. It is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements. The packaging format (Cut Tape & Digi-Reel®) provides flexibility for both prototype and production environments. Inventory levels of 85400 units support immediate procurement.

Secondary Recommendation: PS2802-4-V-F3-A (Renesas Electronics Corporation)

The PS2802-4-V-F3-A maintains identical electrical specifications and Active product status. This variant is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, optimized for high-volume automated assembly. Inventory availability of 87800 units exceeds the primary recommendation. This part is suitable for production environments requiring reel-based component feeding.

Alternative Consideration: PS2802-4-V-A (Renesas Electronics Corporation)

The PS2802-4-V-A is functionally equivalent with Active product status. However, inventory levels (3202 units) are significantly lower than other alternatives. This part is supplied in Strip packaging format. Selection of this variant should be based on specific packaging requirements rather than performance considerations.

Not Recommended for New Designs: PS2802-4-A (Renesas Electronics Corporation)

The PS2802-4-A carries a "Not For New Designs" status, indicating limited future support. Although functionally equivalent, this part should not be selected for new product development. Existing designs currently using this part may continue procurement, but migration to an Active status part is advised.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the PS2802-4-F3-A (Renesas) be used as a direct replacement for the PS2802-4-F3-A (CEL)?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical across all specified parameters. The Renesas version maintains the same 4-channel Darlington output configuration, 2500Vrms isolation voltage, 100mA per-channel output current, and 16-SOIC surface mount package. The primary difference is product status: the Renesas version is Active, while the CEL version is discontinued.

Q: What is the difference between PS2802-4-F3-A and PS2802-4-V-F3-A?

A: These parts are electrically identical. The difference lies in packaging format. PS2802-4-F3-A is supplied in Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® format, while PS2802-4-V-F3-A is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. Both formats are suitable for surface mount assembly. Selection depends on your manufacturing process requirements.

Q: Why is the PS2802-4-A marked "Not For New Designs"?

A: This designation indicates that while the part remains available, the manufacturer does not recommend its use in new product development. This status typically reflects manufacturing transition or product line consolidation. For new designs, select parts with Active status: PS2802-4-F3-A, PS2802-4-V-A, or PS2802-4-V-F3-A.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts carry ROHS3 compliance certification. All parts also have Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no special moisture handling requirements during storage or assembly.

Q: What is the difference between Strip and Tape & Reel packaging?

A: Strip packaging supplies components in continuous strips, suitable for manual handling or lower-volume assembly. Tape & Reel (TR) packaging supplies components on carrier tape wound on reels, optimized for automated pick-and-place assembly equipment. Both formats contain identical components; packaging selection depends on your assembly process.

Q: Can I use PS2802-4-V-A if I need lower inventory commitment?

A: PS2802-4-V-A is electrically equivalent and carries Active product status. However, inventory availability is 3202 units compared to 85400 units for PS2802-4-F3-A and 87800 units for PS2802-4-V-F3-A. If inventory availability is a procurement consideration, the higher-stock alternatives are preferable.

Q: Are there any temperature or isolation voltage differences between the substitute parts?

A: No. All substitute parts operate across the identical temperature range of -55°C to 100°C and maintain 2500Vrms isolation voltage. Current transfer ratio, output voltage, and output current specifications are also identical across all variants.
