Notes
Minimum and maximum values are testing requirements. Typical values are characteristics of the device and are the result of engineering
evaluation. Typical values are for information only and are not part of the testing requirements.
(1)
Pin 7 open.
(2)
Device considered a two-terminal device: pins 1, 2, 3 and 4 shorted together and pins 5, 6, 7, and 8 shorted together.
Notes
(1)
DC current transfer ratio is defined as the ratio of output collector current, I
O
, to the forward LED input current, I
F
times 100 %.
(2)
Pin 7 open.
Note
As per IEC 60747-5-2, §7.4.3.8.1, this optocoupler is suitable for “safe electrical insulation” only within the safety ratings. Compliance with
the safety ratings shall be ensured by means of protective circuits.
Note
(1)
Using a resistor between pin 5 and 7 will decrease gain and delay time.
