PS2815-4-F3-A Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The PS2815-4-F3-A is a 4-channel optoisolator with transistor output rated for 2500Vrms isolation voltage, manufactured by CEL in the NEPOC series. The main part is currently discontinued at DiGi Electronics, making identification of equivalent substitute components essential for ongoing design support and component procurement. Functionally equivalent parts maintain the same electrical isolation, channel configuration, and output characteristics required for AC/DC input signal isolation applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the PS2815-4-F3-A are determined by matching critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary selection criteria include:

Core Compatibility Parameters:

• Number of Channels: 4
• Voltage - Isolation: 2500Vrms
• Current Transfer Ratio range: 100% (Min) to 400% (Max) @ 1mA
• Output Type: Transistor
• Package / Case: 16-SOIC (0.173", 4.40mm Width)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount
• Operating Temperature range: -55°C ~ 100°C

The three substitute parts listed—PS2815-4-F3-A (Renesas Electronics Corporation), PS2815-4-V-A, and PS2815-4-V-F3-A—all share the same base product number PS2815 and meet all core electrical and mechanical requirements. Variations in packaging format (Cut Tape & Digi-Reel®, Strip, or Tape & Reel) do not affect functional compatibility and are determined by procurement and assembly requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three substitute parts—PS2815-4-F3-A (Renesas Electronics Corporation), PS2815-4-V-A, and PS2815-4-V-F3-A—are functionally equivalent to the discontinued CEL PS2815-4-F3-A. Selection among these active alternatives is driven by supply availability and packaging format requirements.

PS2815-4-F3-A (Renesas): Identical part number with active product status. Available in Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® format. Highest direct compatibility for designs currently using the CEL version.

PS2815-4-V-A: Active component with identical electrical specifications. Available in Strip packaging. Current inventory of 1542 pieces.

PS2815-4-V-F3-A: Active component with identical electrical specifications. Available in Tape & Reel format. Largest current inventory at 3123 pieces. Preferred for high-volume manufacturing operations requiring continuous reel packaging.

All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, MSL 1 rating, and identical electrical performance characteristics. Selection among these options depends on procurement format preferences and immediate availability requirements rather than technical compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can PS2815-4-V-A or PS2815-4-V-F3-A be used as direct replacements for the discontinued PS2815-4-F3-A?

A: Yes. All three parts share identical electrical specifications, including isolation voltage (2500Vrms), channel count (4), current transfer ratio (100%-400% @ 1mA), output voltage (40V max), output current (40mA), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 100°C). Package format (16-SOIC) and mounting type (Surface Mount) are also identical.

Q: What is the difference between the three substitute parts?

A: The electrical and mechanical specifications are identical. Differences exist only in packaging format and manufacturer status. PS2815-4-F3-A (Renesas) is available in Cut Tape & Digi-Reel® format; PS2815-4-V-A in Strip format; and PS2815-4-V-F3-A in Tape & Reel format. Packaging selection depends on assembly requirements and procurement workflows.

Q: Are there any timing differences between these parts?

A: PS2815-4-F3-A (CEL main part) specifies rise and fall times of 4µs and 5µs typical. PS2815-4-F3-A (Renesas) maintains identical 4µs and 5µs specifications. PS2815-4-V-A and PS2815-4-V-F3-A both specify identical 4µs and 5µs rise and fall times. All parts meet the same timing requirements.

Q: What does the "-V-" designation in part numbers indicate?

A: The "-V-" suffix variation in PS2815-4-V-A and PS2815-4-V-F3-A does not indicate a functional difference in the electrical specifications provided. All parts share the same base product number PS2815 and meet identical parametric requirements.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All four parts—the original PS2815-4-F3-A and the three substitutes—carry ROHS3 Compliant status and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: Any of the three active substitute parts (Renesas PS2815-4-F3-A, PS2815-4-V-A, or PS2815-4-V-F3-A) are suitable for new designs. Selection should be based on packaging format compatibility with manufacturing assembly equipment and component availability from suppliers.
