ACPL-K370-060E

The ACPL-K370-060E is a type of optoisolator or an optocoupler which is an important electrical component. It is an important signal isolation device that helps achieve two major effects – electrical isolation and protected signal transmission. This particular optoisolator belongs to the family of optoisolators with transistor photovoltaic output.

Optoisolators are devices that isolate a low-voltage electrical signal from an external source from being electrically coupled to a voltage-critical or high-voltage application. This helps to achieve signal transmission with isolation from high-voltage applications while maintaining signal integrity.

The ACPL-K370-060E is a particularly high quality optoisolator with high insulation resistance and input to output isolation of 8kV. It also features low propagation delay of 3µs and a frequency of 3.3kHz. It is designed to be used even in the highest voltage applications and it can be used to provide electrical isolation and shielded transmission of electrical signals.

This particular optoisolator also has a photovoltaic output. This means that it utilizes light energy to produce an electrical current. This voltage-controlled device has a built-in current transfer ratio (CTR) of up to 0.8 A/W. The output current can be controlled by the amount of light that is delivered to the photovoltaic diode, which depends on the input current. The higher the input current, the higher the output current.

The internal signal transfer of the ACPL-K370-060E is controlled by a light-emitting diode that changes the output current in response to the input current. The integrated photovoltaic diode then takes this current and converts it to a voltage signal. This can then be used to power any electrical device that requires an isolated voltage source.

The ACPL-K370-060E also features an insulated baseplate and integrated protection device that provides some degree of protection against ESD and electrical surges. This means that it can safely be used even with the highest voltage applications. The output is also shielded with an epoxy Mold compound which provides further protection and makes the optoisolator resistant to environmental conditions, such as dust and moisture.

The ACPL-K370-060E is a reliable and efficient optoisolator that can be used for a variety of applications where it is necessary to provide electrical isolation and guarded transmission for high-voltage applications. Its photovoltaic output enables it to have a relatively low operating current compared to other optoisolators and it is able to achieve a high degree of isolation which makes it suitable for a wide range of applications.
