The 4N35 is a general-purpose optocoupler designed to provide electrical isolation between two circuits. It consists of a gallium arsenide infrared LED and a silicon phototransistor, allowing for efficient signal transfer while maintaining isolation.
Key Features:
- Gallium Arsenide Infrared LED: Emits infrared light to control the phototransistor.
- Silicon Phototransistor: Converts the received infrared light into an electrical signal.
- High Isolation Voltage: Ensures electrical separation between input and output circuits.
- Wide Operating Temperature Range: Suitable for various environments.
- DIP-6 Package: A common package type for discrete semiconductors, providing a standard pinout and mounting configuration.
Specifications:
- Input Current (If): 10mA (typical)
- Output Current (Ic): 50mA (typical)
- Isolation Voltage: 5000VRMS
- Forward Voltage (Vf): 1.5V (typical)
- Collector-Emitter Saturation Voltage (Vce(sat)): 0.4V (typical)
- Package: DIP-6
Applications:
- Signal isolation
- Noise suppression
- Power supply control
- Motor control
- Industrial automation
