Optocoupler, Phototransistor Output, High Reliability, 5300 V
RMS
DESCRIPTION
The 110 °C rated VO618A feature a high current transfer
ratio, low coupling capacitance and high isolation voltage.
These couplers have a GaAs infrared diode emitter, which is
optically coupled to a silicon planar phototransistor
detector, and is incorporated in a plastic DIP-4 package.
The coupling devices are designed for signal transmission
between two electrically separated circuits.
The couplers are end-stackable with 2.54 mm spacing.
Creepage and clearance distances of > 8.0 mm are
achieved with option 6. This version complies with
IEC 60950 (DIN VDE 0805) for reinforced insulation up to an
operation voltage of 400 V
RMS
or DC. Specifications subject
to change.
