A functional alternative with matching CTR and higher VCEO, but a more limited minimum operating temperature.
LTV-217-B-G is a single-channel phototransistor optocoupler in a compact half-pitch 4-SOP package. When finding a substitute, it is critical to match the 130-260% Current Transfer Ratio, 70V collector voltage, and physical footprint.
Many alternatives have different or wider CTR bins, which can alter circuit behavior.
Some candidates use standard SOIC-4 packages, which are larger than the target's half-pitch SOP-4.
Multiple manufacturers produce similar optocouplers, providing several sourcing options.
No direct, drop-in replacement with identical parameters was found. VOMA617A-8X001T is very close but has a narrower temperature range. All candidates require engineering review.
VOMA617A-8X001T offers a close electrical match if the application's minimum temperature is above -40°C. For a package-compatible option, LTV-356T-C is viable if the circuit tolerates higher gain.
The primary risks are mismatches in Current Transfer Ratio (CTR) affecting circuit gain, and physical package differences requiring board layout changes.

| Feature / factor | LTV-217-B-G | VOMA617A-8X001T | LTV-356T-C | VOS617A-8T | Compatibility / risk |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Package | 4-SOP | 4-SOP | 4-SOP | 4-SOIC (4.40mm Width) | 4-SOP / 4-SOIC (4.40mm Width) — Package appears to be a compatible SOP-4, but requires footprint verification.; LTV-356T-C: Package matches target.; VOS617A-8T: Candidate has a larger standard SOIC-4 package, not a half-pitch SOP-4. |
| Voltage | 3.75 kVrms | 3750 VRMS | 80 V | 80 V | 3750 VRMS / 80 V — Isolation voltage matches.; LTV-356T-C: Collector-Emitter Voltage (VCEO) is higher.; VOS617A-8T: VCEO is higher, providing more margin. |
| Ctr | 130% - 260% | 130% - 260% | 200% - 400% | 130% - 260% | 130% - 260% / 200% - 400% — Current Transfer Ratio range matches target's 'B' grade.; LTV-356T-C: Candidate is a higher gain 'C' grade vs target's 'B' grade.; VOS617A-8T: Current Transfer Ratio range matches target's 'B' grade. |
| Temperature | -55°C to +110°C | -40°C to +110°C | -55°C to +110°C | -55°C to +110°C | -40°C to +110°C / -55°C to +110°C — Minimum operating temperature is higher than target.; LTV-356T-C: Operating temperature range matches.; VOS617A-8T: Operating temperature range matches. |
The best alternatives require review. VOMA617A-8X001T is electrically very similar but has a narrower temperature range. VOS617A-8T is electrically strong but has a larger package. LTV-356T-C has the right package but a higher CTR.
