Frequently Asked Questions

What types of photocouplers does Cosmo offer?

Cosmo offers various types of photocouplers including: transistor output (K1010, K2010 series), Darlington output (KP5010 series), triac output (KMOC304x, KMOC305x, KMOC308x series), and high-speed types (KPC6N138, KPC450x series). Each type is designed for specific applications with different CTR, isolation voltage, and speed requirements.

Select output type based on your application requirements.

What are the key specifications to consider when selecting a Cosmo SSR?

Key specifications for Cosmo SSRs include: load voltage (60V to 600V), continuous load current (100mA to 400mA), on-resistance, turn-on/off time, and isolation voltage. MOSFET output SSRs like KAQY series provide low on-resistance and fast switching, suitable for DC applications. Contact BeiLuo FAE for selection guidance.

Match voltage, current, and switching speed to your application.

What is the isolation voltage of Cosmo photocouplers?

Cosmo photocouplers provide high isolation voltages ranging from 2500Vrms to 5000Vrms, depending on the model. Standard devices typically offer 2500V or 3750V isolation, while high-isolation models provide up to 5000V. This ensures safe signal isolation in high-voltage applications.

Select isolation voltage based on your safety requirements.

How do I determine the CTR (Current Transfer Ratio) requirement?

CTR is relates to output current to input current, expressed as a percentage. Higher CTR means better efficiency. Cosmo offers standard CTR (50-600%), high CTR (100-300%), and very high CTR options. Consider your drive capability and load requirements when selecting CTR. Contact BeiLuo FAE for CTR selection guidance.

Higher CTR reduces input current requirements.
