This diode-transistor photocouplers consist of an LED, optically coupled to a high speed photodetector to transmit electrical signals between circuits while still isolating your system from higher voltages. The 6N137 optoisolator is presented in an 8-pin DIP package.
The output features is an open collector and coupler parameters are guaranteed over the temperature range from -40℃~5℃. The internal shield provides a guaranteed Common Mode Transient Immunity (typical) 10 KV/μs.
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- LED
- A light-emitting diode (LED) is a small electronic component that emits light when current flows through it in the correct direction. Because it only conducts one way, its polarity matters, and a through-hole LED must be soldered the correct way around to light up.
- Shield
- An add-on board that plugs into a main controller board to give it extra features such as sensing, motor control or communication. Knowing a product supports shields helps you judge whether it can connect neatly into an existing maker-board setup.
