DESCRIPTION
The PS2561-1 is optically coupled isolators containing a GaAs light emitting diode and an NPN silicon
phototransistor.
The PS2561-1 is in a plastic DIP (Dual In-line Package) and the PS2561L-1 is lead bending type (Gull-wing) for
surface mount.
The PS2561L1-1 is lead bending type for long creepage distance.
The PS2561L2-1 is lead bending type for long creepage distance (Gull-wing) for surface mount.

FEATURES
High Isolation voltage (BV = 5 000 Vr.m.s.)
High collector to emitter voltage (VCEO = 80 V)
High current transfer ratio (CTR = 200% TYP.)
High-speed switching (tr = 3 s TYP., tf = 5 s TYP.)
Ordering number of taping product: PS2561L-1-E3, E4, F3, F4, PS2561L2-1-E3, E4

Time 10 seconds or less
Preheating conditions 120C or below (package surface temperature)
Number of times One (Allowed to be dipped in solder including plastic mold portion.)
Flux Rosin flux containing small amount of chlorine (The flux with a maximum chlorine
content of 0.2 Wt% is recommended.)

(3) Soldering by soldering iron

(4) Cautions
Fluxes
Avoid removing the residual flux with freon-based and chlorine-based cleaning solvent.

2. Cautions regarding noise
Be aware that when voltage is applied suddenly between the photocouplers input and output or between
collector-emitters at startup, the output transistor may enter the on state, even if the voltage is within the absolute
maximum ratings.

3. Measurement conditions of current transfer ratios (CTR), which differ according to photocoupler
Check the setting values before use, since the forward current conditions at CTR measurement differ according
to product.
When using products other than at the specified forward current, the characteristics curves may differ from the
standard curves due to CTR value variations or the like. This tendency may sometimes be obvious, especially
below IF = 1 mA.
Therefore, check the characteristics under the actual operating conditions and thoroughly take variations or the
like into consideration before use.

USAGE CAUTIONS
1. Protect against static electricity when handling.
2. Avoid storage at a high temperature and high humidity.

change without notice. For actual design-in, refer to the latest publications of NEC Electronics data
sheets or data books, etc., for the most up-to-date specifications of NEC Electronics products. Not
all products and/or types are available in every country. Please check with an NEC Electronics sales
representative for availability and additional information.

Descriptions of circuits, software and other related information in this document are provided for illustrative
purposes in semiconductor product operation and application examples. The incorporation of these
circuits, software and information in the design of a customer's equipment shall be done under the full
responsibility of the customer. NEC Electronics assumes no responsibility for any losses incurred by

While NEC Electronics endeavors to enhance the quality, reliability and safety of NEC Electronics products,
customers agree and acknowledge that the possibility of defects thereof cannot be eliminated entirely. To
minimize risks of damage to property or injury (including death) to persons arising from defects in NEC
Electronics products, customers must incorporate sufficient safety measures in their design, such as
redundancy, fire-containment and anti-failure features.
NEC Electronics products are classified into the following three quality grades: "Standard", "Special" and
"Specific".
The "Specific" quality grade applies only to NEC Electronics products developed based on a customer-
designated "quality assurance program" for a specific application. The recommended applications of an NEC
Electronics product depend on its quality grade, as indicated below. Customers must check the quality grade of
each NEC Electronics product before using it in a particular application.
The quality grade of NEC Electronics products is "Standard" unless otherwise expressly specified in NEC
Electronics data sheets or data books, etc. If customers wish to use NEC Electronics products in applications
not intended by NEC Electronics, they must contact an NEC Electronics sales representative in advance to
determine NEC Electronics' willingness to support a given application.
