The Vishay 4N38 is a single-channel optocoupler featuring a gallium arsenide infrared LED and a silicon NPN phototransistor. It provides a high isolation test voltage of 5000 VRMS, achieved through Vishay's double molding isolation manufacturing process.
This device is designed to interface with common logic families and has an input-output coupling capacitance of less than 0.5 pF. Key electrical specifications include a 60mA forward current, 100mA maximum collector current, and 80V maximum collector-emitter voltage. The typical forward voltage is 1.5V at 10mA, with a reverse voltage rating of 6V and a power dissipation of 70mW.
The 4N38 optocoupler operates within a temperature range of -55C to +100C. It is available in an industry-standard dual-in-line 6-pin package suitable for through-hole mounting. The device is compliant with RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC and WEEE 2002/96/EC.
Applications for the 4N38 include AC mains detection, reed relay driving, switch mode power supply feedback, telephone ring detection, logic ground isolation, and logic coupling with high-frequency noise rejection.
