VISHAY 6N137 Optocoupler 1 Channel 5.3kV 10 Mbaud DIP 8 Pin

The VISHAY 6N137 is a high-speed, single-channel optocoupler featuring a digital output and housed in an 8-pin DIP package. Designed for through-hole mounting, this device provides reliable electrical isolation with a high isolation test voltage of 5300Vrms, making it a robust choice for demanding electronics applications.

Offering a rapid data rate of 10 Mbaud and a low input current capability of just 5mA, the 6N137 is highly efficient for high-speed signal transmission. It operates dependably across a wide temperature range from -40°C to 100°C. The component features pure tin leads and meets stringent environmental standards, including IEC 60068-2-42 (SO2) and IEC 60068-2-43 (H2S) requirements. It is also certified under UL1577 - E52744, cUL - E52744, DIN EN 60747-5-5, BSI IEC 60950, and CQC GB8898-2001.

Key Applications

This optocoupler is primarily used in microprocessor system interfaces, PLC, and ATE input/output isolation. It is equally suited for computer peripheral interfaces and digital field bus isolation, supporting protocols such as CC-link, DeviceNet, Profibus, and SDS. Additionally, it excels in high-speed A/D and D/A conversion, AC plasma display panel level shifting, multiplexed data transmission, digital control power supplies, and ground loop elimination.

With compact dimensions of 43 mm in height, 33 mm in width, and 15 mm in depth, and weighing just 0.97 grams, this VISHAY optocoupler is perfectly suited for space-constrained industrial, communications networking, and portable device applications.
