Increased electrical safety and distinctly improved isolation

Stutensee, Germany - Gleichmann Electronics has broadened its product offering with NEC Electronics’ new PS85/95 family of high-speed optocouplers. The new PS85/95 optocoupler series feature 5000 Vrms isolation voltage, >0.4 mm isolation distance, >8 mm outer creepage distance, minimum common mode ratio (CMR) of 15KV/ìs and a comparatively high output voltage of maximum 35V.

At the same time, NEC Electronics presents the PS9552 device, its first optically isolated IGBT driver. This optocoupler provides the transfer of data of up to 1 Mbit/s speed, up to 2.5 A output current, an operating voltage of 15 to 30 V as well as an extended operating temperature range of -40 to +100°C. The PS9552 is ideally suited for the direct drive of IGBT and MOSFET gates. The PS9552L2-AX version of the optocoupler is compatible with HCNW-3120.

Finally, the PS9513 provides the transfer of data of up to 1 Mbit/s speed and is ideally suited for IPM drives and industrial inverters.

All optocouplers are available in different package options either for through-hole or surface mount. They are fully RoHS-compliant and use nickel-palladium-gold as lead-free pin plating material.

The new PS85/95 family of optocouplers complies with current international safety certificates such as UL, VDE etc. Samples are available now from Gleichmann Electronics.
