L COMPATIBLE, SOLID
STATE RELAY
Use of the 4N40 for high sensi-
tivity, 5300 V isolation capability,
provides this highly reliable solid
state relay design. This design is
compatible with 74, 74S and 74H
series T

400V SYMMETRICAL TRANSISTOR COUPLER
Use of the high voltage PNP portion of the 4N40 provides a 400V transistor
capable of conducting positive and negative signals with current transfer
ratios of over 1%. This function is useful in remote instrumentation, high volt-
age power supplies and test equipment. Care should be taken not to exceed
the 40mW power dissipation rating when used at high voltages.
