VO617A-3 Review


Official Vishay datasheet found and the part’s Datasheet URL property is now set. I’m checking the symbol/footprint pins against the datasheet next.
I found a few metadata/detail issues during the check: missing pin descriptions, missing package metadata, and a 70 V description value that conflicts with the datasheet’s 80 V VCEO. I’m correcting those documented fields now before wrapping up.
The independent sanity check agreed the footprint and electrical specs match the base DIP-4 VO617A-3; the only clarity issue is pin 2 using “C” for cathode while pin 4 also uses “C” for collector. I’m renaming pin 2 to “K” to avoid ambiguity.

Reviewed the current Flux part project for Vishay VO617A-3 against the official Vishay datasheet. Project: VO617A-3
Completed the VO617A-3 review and updates. I set the Datasheet URL to the official Vishay PDF, corrected/filled metadata, added pin descriptions, corrected the description’s VCEO value to 80 V, and verified the DIP-4 footprint matches the base through-hole VO617A-3.
Open items:
  • Pin 2 and pin 4 still both display as C; descriptions disambiguate them, but pin 2 would be clearer as K/CATHODE.
  • The footprint is valid for base through-hole VO617A-3, not SMD or wide-body suffix variants.
Full details are in VO617A-3 Part Review.
