VISHAY Single Channel Optocoupler Transistor Output DIP 6-Pin 60mA 5kV

The VISHAY Single Channel Optocoupler is a phototransistor output optocoupler in a 6-pin DIP (Dual In-line Package) format, rated at 60mA and 5kV, for electrical isolation and signal transmission between circuits.

Overview

The device combines a gallium arsenide infrared emitting diode, optically coupled to a silicon planar phototransistor detector. This construction provides galvanic isolation, allowing signals to be transferred safely between two circuits that must remain electrically separate. It can help prevent ground loops and protect sensitive components from high-voltage transients in systems where voltage differences present a risk.

Key Features

• Single channel configuration for straightforward signal isolation
• Phototransistor output
• Standard 6-pin DIP (Dual In-line Package) format for integration into circuit boards and prototyping setups
• Base terminal of the phototransistor is not externally connected
• Described as offering improved common-mode interference immunity compared with the standard CNY17 series

The unconnected phototransistor base terminal is a feature of the F-type design, which supports stable operation and noise rejection in electrically noisy environments.

Applications

The optocoupler is suited to signal processing tasks in industrial, automotive, and telecommunications equipment. Its isolation rating makes it suitable for interfacing microcontrollers or logic circuits with higher-voltage power stages, such as motor drives, power supplies, and relay switching circuits.
