Search By Specification


Optocoupler Input




         
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   AC
 
     The optocoupler is designed for alternating current input.
 
   DC
 
     The optocoupler is designed for direct current input.
 
   Other
 
     Any other input not listed.
 
   Search Logic:      All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
Optocoupler Output




         
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   Photocell
 
     Photocells are light-dependent resistors. They are used to detect changes in light intensity.
 
   Photodiode
 
     A two-electrode, radiation-sensitive junction formed in a semiconductor material in which the reverse current varies with illumination.
 
   Phototransistor
 
     A bipolar transistor used as a photodetector. It provides current at its output that is proportional to light intensity at its input. The low-level input light current is amplified by the current gain (beta) of the transistor.
 
   Photodarlington
 
     A pair of bipolar transistors connected in a darlington configuration to provide very high current gain and often used as the photodetector section of an optocoupler.
 
   Other
 
     Any other output type not listed.
 
   Search Logic:      All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
Performance




   Isolation Voltage
 
     The input-to-output voltage withstanding capability of an optically coupled isolator.
 
   Search Logic:      User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
   Rise Time
 
     The time that elapses while a pulse waveform increases from 10% to 90% of its maximum value.
 
   Search Logic:      User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
   Collector Emitter Breakdown Voltage:
 
     The voltage at which a transistor, biased in the normal direction with no optical or electrical input to the base, will conduct a specified current much higher than the normal leakage currents that occur at lower voltages.
 
   Search Logic:      User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
   Resistance On:
 
     The resistance of the optocoupler when activated.
 
   Search Logic:      User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
   Operating Temperature
 
     The temperature range the optocoupler is designed to operate in.
 
   Search Logic:      User may specify either, both, or neither of the limits in a "From - To" range; when both are specified, matching products will cover entire range. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
Mounting Option




         
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   Surface Mount
 
     In Surface Mount Technology (SMT), components are mounted on printed circuit boards by soldering the component leads or terminals to the top surface of the board.
 
   Flat Pack
 
     An IC package with gull wing or flat leads on two or four sides.
 
   Through Hole (Plug-in)
 
     In Through Hole Technology (THT), components are mounted on printed circuit boards by inserting component leads through holes in the board and then soldering.
 
   Other
 
     Other, not specified, package.
 
   Search Logic:      All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
