DESCRIPTION
This datasheet presents five families of Vishay industry standard single channel photo
transistor couplers. These families include the 4N35, 4N36, 4N37, 4N38 couplers.
Each optocoupler consists of gallium arsenide infrared LED and a silicon
NPN photo
transistor.
These couplers are Underwriters Laboratories (UL) listed to comply with a 5000 VRMS isolation test voltage.
This isolation performance is accomplished through Vishay double molding isolation manufacturing process. Comliance to DIN EN 60747-5-5 partial discharge isolation specification is available for these families by ordering option 1.
These isolation processes and the Vishay ISO9001 quality program results in the highest isolation performance available for a commecial plastic photo
transistor optocoupler.
The devices are available in lead formed configuration suitable for surface mounting and are available either on tape and reel, or in standard tube shipping containers.
