4N36 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The Vishay 4N36 is a general-purpose optocoupler designed for reliable signal isolation in various electronic applications. It integrates an infrared LED and a phototransistor within a standard 6-pin DIP package, facilitating easy integration into PCB designs.

 

Key electrical specifications include an isolation voltage of 5000Vrms, a collector-emitter breakdown voltage of 30V, and a typical forward voltage of 1.3V. The device supports a maximum input current of 50mA and provides an output current of up to 50mA. It features a minimum current transfer ratio of 100% at 10mA and typical turn-on/turn-off times of 10μs.

 

With an operating temperature range of -55°C to 100°C, the 4N36 is suitable for demanding environments. Its through-hole mounting type and compact dimensions (7.62mm length, 7mm width, 4mm height) make it a versatile component for general-purpose applications requiring electrical isolation between circuits.

 

This optocoupler is compliant with RoHS directive 2002/95/EC and WEEE 2002/96/EC, indicating its adherence to environmental standards.
