Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SFH6136-X016 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Isolation Voltage: Minimum 5000Vrms (SFH6136-X016 operates at 5300Vrms)
• Output Type: Transistor with Base configuration
• Package: 8-DIP through-hole form factor
• Number of Channels: Single channel
• Input Type: DC
• Current Transfer Ratio: Minimum 19% @ 16mA or compatible range
• Output Voltage (Max): 20V or higher
• Output Current: 8mA per channel
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 100°C or compatible subset
• Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected

The substitute parts listed below meet these core electrical and mechanical requirements, enabling direct replacement in applications where the SFH6136-X016 specifications are satisfied.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

6N135G and 6N136G (Isocom Components 2004 LTD)

Both 6N135G and 6N136G are qualified substitutes for the SFH6136-X016 in applications where isolation voltage requirements do not exceed 5000Vrms. The 6N136G is the preferred choice among these two due to its 19% minimum current transfer ratio, which matches the SFH6136-X016 specification. Both parts maintain identical package dimensions (8-DIP 0.400"), operating temperature range (-55°C to 100°C), and ROHS3 compliance. These components are suitable for direct board-level replacement.

HCPL-4562-000E (Broadcom Limited)

The HCPL-4562-000E is a qualified substitute only for applications where the isolation voltage requirement is 3750Vrms or lower. This component features a reduced package size (8-DIP 0.300" vs. 0.400"), which may require PCB layout verification before implementation. The operating temperature range is narrower (-40°C to 85°C) compared to the SFH6136-X016. The maximum forward current is limited to 12 mA, which is lower than the 25 mA specification of the primary part. All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 6N135G directly replace the SFH6136-X016?

A: The 6N135G is mechanically and functionally compatible for applications requiring 5000Vrms isolation or lower. However, the 6N135G has a minimum current transfer ratio of 7% @ 16mA, which is lower than the SFH6136-X016 specification of 19% @ 16mA. Circuit performance may differ in applications sensitive to current transfer ratio variation.

Q: Is the 6N136G a better choice than the 6N135G?

A: The 6N136G is preferred over the 6N135G for direct substitution because it matches the 19% minimum current transfer ratio of the SFH6136-X016. Both parts share identical package dimensions and operating temperature ranges.

Q: Can the HCPL-4562-000E be used in all applications where the SFH6136-X016 is specified?

A: No. The HCPL-4562-000E has a lower isolation voltage rating (3750Vrms vs. 5300Vrms) and a narrower operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C vs. -55°C to 100°C). It is suitable only for applications where these reduced specifications are acceptable. Additionally, the package size differs (0.300" vs. 0.400"), requiring PCB layout verification.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts (6N135G, 6N136G, and HCPL-4562-000E) are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, matching the environmental compliance status of the SFH6136-X016.

Q: What is the primary difference between the SFH6136-X016 and the 6N135G/6N136G?

A: The primary difference is isolation voltage: the SFH6136-X016 provides 5300Vrms, while the 6N135G and 6N136G provide 5000Vrms. Both use identical 8-DIP 0.400" packages and support the same operating temperature range. The 6N136G matches the current transfer ratio specification of the SFH6136-X016.

Q: What are the package dimension implications of using the HCPL-4562-000E?

A: The HCPL-4562-000E uses an 8-DIP 0.300" package, which is smaller than the 0.400" package of the SFH6136-X016. While both are 8-DIP through-hole components, the reduced pitch may affect PCB layout compatibility. Verify footprint alignment before implementation.
