Key Features
- 4-channel open-collector Darlington array capable of driving inductive loads such as relays, solenoids, and stepper motors directly from logic-level signals
- Integrated transient-suppression diodes on every output channel protecting both the driver IC and upstream logic from inductive kickback voltage spikes
- 16-pin PDIP through-hole package compatible with standard DIP sockets for fast prototyping and easy field replacement in industrial control panels
Applications
The ULN2075B is used to interface microcontroller or PLC outputs to medium-power inductive loads including relays, solenoids, and DC motors in factory automation equipment. Its 4 independent Darlington channels allow a single IC to control multiple actuators simultaneously, reducing BOM complexity in conveyor controllers, valve drivers, and stepper-motor sequencers. The built-in flyback diodes eliminate the need for external protection components, simplifying PCB layout in relay-driver circuits.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many output channels does ULN2075B provide, and what load types can each channel drive?
The ULN2075B provides 4 independent open-collector Darlington output channels. Each channel handles inductive loads such as 5 V to 50 V relays, solenoids, and small DC motors driven from standard TTL or CMOS logic inputs. The built-in transient-suppression diodes on each output protect against inductive kickback without requiring external flyback diodes.
Which industrial control designs benefit from using ULN2075B as a relay driver?
Programmable logic controllers (PLCs), industrial sequencers, and motor-drive controllers that switch 24 V or 48 V relay coils from 5 V logic rails benefit from the ULN2075B. Its 4-channel Darlington topology allows one IC to control a 4-coil relay bank, reducing wiring density and component count in DIN-rail-mounted control modules and conveyor automation panels.
What package does ULN2075B use, and how does its through-hole form factor support field maintenance?
The ULN2075B comes in a 16-pin PDIP (R-PDIP-T16) through-hole package with 2.54 mm lead pitch, compatible with standard DIP-16 sockets. Socket mounting allows technicians to replace a failed driver array without soldering tools during field maintenance of relay panels, significantly reducing mean-time-to-repair in industrial and building-automation installations.
How does ULN2075B's open-collector output architecture enable wired-OR bus configurations?
Because each ULN2075B output is open-collector, multiple channels or multiple ICs can connect their outputs to a shared bus node. When any channel pulls the node low, the bus reads low, implementing a wired-OR logic function across 4 or more channels without additional gate ICs. A single pull-up resistor on the common bus node completes the circuit, useful in shared-alarm and fault-indication wiring.
