VOL617A Overview

What changes between part numbers, and what to check before you lock the BOM — BJTs.

VOL617A is a Vishay order-code family — not a single orderable MPN. This page lists 8 variants that share the same core device but differ in suffix fields (package, grade, reel/tube, electrical bin, etc.). Pick the exact full part number; substituting within the family without checking the datasheet often causes assembly or spec mismatches.

Optocoupler - Transistor Output, 1 CHANNEL TRANSISTOR OUTPUT OPTOCOUPLER, GREEN, MINIFLAT, SOP-4 Other listed variants describe: OPTOCOUPLR PHOTOTRANS 125% 4LSOP; 1-Ch Optocoupler, 80V VCEO, 5kV Isolation, SOP, 60mA IF.

Suffix examples in this family: 1X001T, 2T, 2X001T, 3T, 3X001T, 4T, 4X001T, 8X001T. The characters after the base number usually encode package, temperature, or performance grade — compare the variant table column-by-column rather than assuming pin-compatible drops-in.

Example MPNs: VOL617A-1X001T, VOL617A-2T, VOL617A-2X001T, VOL617A-3T, VOL617A-3X001T, VOL617A-4T.

Key Features

Lifecycle mix: ActiveConfirm lifecycle on the exact MPN, not just the base number prefix.
8 distinct suffix patternsExamples: 1X001T, 2T, 2X001T, 3T, 3X001T (+3 more). Decode suffix meaning in the ordering notes under the variant table.

Target Applications

BJTs — design-in and field replacement
BOM scrub where only the base prefix is known but suffix is TBD
Second-source checks when the original MPN is constrained

Ordering Code Differences

How suffixes on VOL617A map to package, grade, and reel options.

VOL617A uses a shared prefix; characters after the prefix encode orderable options. Two lines with the same prefix are not drop-in replacements unless the differing columns match your need.

Suffixes seen here: 1X001T, 2T, 2X001T, 3T, 3X001T, 4T, 4X001T, 8X001T.

Full MPN examples: VOL617A-1X001T, VOL617A-2T, VOL617A-2X001T, VOL617A-3T, VOL617A-3X001T.

Tip: photograph or copy the reel label — reel diameter, QTY per reel, and moisture sensitivity level (MSL) are often suffix-driven and won't show in the schematic.

How to Choose the Right VOL617A BJTs

📦

Match the footprint first

Pull the exact package drawing for your MPN — base-number swaps fail most often at the footprint, not the schematic.

⚡

Electrical headroom

Compare voltage and current columns in the variant table. For VOL617A, a suffix with lower voltage or current rating will not survive the same circuit without recalculation.

🌡️

Temp grade letter matters

Commercial (0–70 °C) and industrial (−40–85 °C+) suffixes look similar in the prefix — confirm ambient + self-heating, not just the first page of the datasheet.

🔢

Copy the full MPN

Do not BOM only "VOL617A" — include the full suffix (e.g. 1X001T, 2T, 2X001T). RFQ with reel/tube preference and required date code.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common technical questions about the VOL617A product family.

Is VOL617A a single part I can order, or a family prefix?

VOL617A is a base / family code from Vishay. You order a full MPN such as VOL617A-1X001T, VOL617A-2T, VOL617A-2X001T. The variant table lists 8 orderable lines with different suffixes.

What do the suffix letters on VOL617A part numbers mean?

Listed suffix fragments include: 1X001T, 2T, 2X001T, 3T, 3X001T, 4T. Typically they encode package (see Package column), temperature grade, and tape/reel option. Always decode on the Vishay datasheet ordering guide — do not guess from pattern alone.

What is the lifecycle status of VOL617A variants?

Lifecycle values in our listing: Active. Status is per MPN suffix — one variant can be Active while another is NRND. Check PCN for your exact suffix before multi-year commitments.

What should I send for an RFQ on VOL617A?

Full manufacturer MPN (not just VOL617A), quantity, needed date code, reel vs tube, and any compliance docs (CoC, RoHS, conflict minerals). If you only know the base prefix, include a photo of the existing label or reel.

Where is the VOL617A datasheet?

Use the datasheet link in the page header. Cross-check electrical curves (SOA, saturation voltage, etc.) against your operating point — the table summarizes order codes, not every graph in the PDF.
