PS2815-1-F3-A Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PS2815-1-F3-A is a 2500Vrms optoisolator with transistor output manufactured by Renesas Electronics Corporation (formerly CEL). This single-channel device operates across AC and DC input types with a 4-SSOP surface mount package. The part is currently listed as Active in product status and is available in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® packaging format.

The PS2815-1-F3-A was originally discontinued at DiGi Electronics under CEL branding. Equivalent alternatives are available from Renesas Electronics Corporation with identical electrical specifications and the same 4-SSOP package footprint. These substitutes differ primarily in packaging format and product lifecycle status, making them suitable for applications requiring the same isolation voltage, current transfer ratio, and output characteristics.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the PS2815-1-F3-A is determined by electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence within the NEPOC series optoisolator family. All substitute parts maintain identical specifications across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Equivalence Criteria:

• Isolation voltage: 2500Vrms
• Single channel configuration
• Current transfer ratio range: 100% to 400% @ 1mA
• Maximum output voltage: 40V
• Maximum output current: 40mA per channel
• Transistor output type
• Maximum Vce saturation: 300mV
• Rise and fall times: 4µs and 5µs
• Input compatibility: AC and DC
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 100°C

Mechanical Equivalence Criteria:

• Package type: 4-SOIC (0.173", 4.40mm Width)
• Supplier device package: 4-SSOP
• Surface mount mounting type
• Pin-to-pin compatibility

Compliance Equivalence:

• RoHS3 compliance
• MSL Level 1 (Unlimited)
• ECCN: EAR99
• HTSUS: 8541.49.8000

Substitute parts differ only in packaging format (Strip, Tube, Cut Tape & Digi-Reel, or Tape & Reel) and product lifecycle status. These differences do not affect electrical performance or PCB-level compatibility.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection: PS2815-1-F3-A

The PS2815-1-F3-A remains the recommended choice for new designs. This part carries Active product status from Renesas Electronics Corporation and is available in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® packaging, which supports both manual and automated assembly workflows. The part maintains ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status, ensuring regulatory alignment for current and future applications.

Alternative Selection: PS2815-1-V-F3-A

The PS2815-1-V-F3-A is electrically and mechanically identical to the PS2815-1-F3-A and carries Active product status. This variant is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, which is optimized for high-volume automated assembly operations. Selection of this part is appropriate when production volumes justify reel-based procurement and when assembly equipment is configured for TR packaging.

Secondary Selection: PS2815-1-L-A

The PS2815-1-L-A is electrically and mechanically equivalent with Active product status. This part is supplied in Tube packaging format. Note that this part carries REACH Affected status, which may impose additional regulatory documentation requirements depending on end-use application and geographic distribution. Selection is appropriate only when REACH compliance status does not conflict with application requirements.

Not Recommended for New Designs: PS2815-1-A

The PS2815-1-A carries "Not For New Designs" product status and should not be selected for new development projects. This part is electrically and mechanically equivalent but is reserved for legacy system support and maintenance applications only.

Not Recommended: PS2815-1-V-A

The PS2815-1-V-A is electrically and mechanically equivalent with Active product status. However, this part is supplied in Strip packaging format, which is less suitable for automated assembly workflows compared to Cut Tape, Tape & Reel, or Tube formats. Selection is appropriate only when manual assembly or specific procurement constraints require Strip format.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can PS2815-1-F3-A be directly replaced with PS2815-1-V-F3-A on the same PCB?

A: Yes. Both parts are pin-for-pin compatible with identical electrical specifications and the same 4-SOIC (0.173", 4.40mm Width) package footprint. The only difference is packaging format (Cut Tape & Digi-Reel versus Tape & Reel). No PCB redesign or circuit modification is required.

Q: What is the difference between Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® and Tape & Reel (TR) packaging?

A: Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel® format provides flexibility for both manual pick-and-place operations and automated assembly. Tape & Reel (TR) format is optimized for high-speed automated assembly equipment and is typically used for production volumes exceeding 1000 units per order. Both formats contain the same component with identical electrical performance.

Q: Why is PS2815-1-A marked "Not For New Designs"?

A: This product status indicates that the part is in end-of-life phase and is reserved for legacy system maintenance and repair applications. Renesas Electronics Corporation recommends PS2815-1-F3-A or PS2815-1-V-F3-A for all new development projects.

Q: Does REACH Affected status on PS2815-1-L-A affect electrical performance?

A: No. REACH Affected status is a regulatory classification that indicates the part may contain substances subject to REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals) regulations. Electrical performance, isolation voltage, current transfer ratio, and all other technical specifications remain identical to REACH Unaffected variants. Selection depends on end-use application location and regulatory requirements.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts (PS2815-1-A, PS2815-1-L-A, PS2815-1-V-A, and PS2815-1-V-F3-A) carry ROHS3 Compliant status, matching the compliance level of the PS2815-1-F3-A.

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) for these parts?

A: All parts in this family carry MSL Level 1 (Unlimited), which indicates unlimited shelf life under normal storage conditions. No special moisture control measures are required during storage or handling.

Q: Can PS2815-1-L-A be used in applications requiring REACH Unaffected status?

A: No. PS2815-1-L-A carries REACH Affected status. For applications with strict REACH Unaffected requirements, select PS2815-1-F3-A, PS2815-1-V-F3-A, PS2815-1-V-A, or PS2815-1-A instead.

Q: What is the base product number for all these variants?

A: The base product number is PS2815. All listed parts (PS2815-1-F3-A, PS2815-1-A, PS2815-1-L-A, PS2815-1-V-A, PS2815-1-V-F3-A) are variants of this base product with identical electrical specifications and the same NEPOC series designation.

Q: Are there any differences in rise and fall times between variants?

A: Rise and fall times are 4µs and 5µs respectively for all variants except PS2815-1-V-A, which specifies additional turn-on and turn-off times of 7µs and 5µs. However, the rise and fall time specifications remain 4µs and 5µs for PS2815-1-V-A as well, making it electrically equivalent for timing-critical applications.
