MCT6H/ MCT62H
Vishay Telefunken
Dual Channel Optocoupler with Phototransistor
Output
Description
The MCT6H and MCT62H consist of a phototransistor optically coupled to a gallium arsenide
infrared-emitting diode in a 6-lead plastic dual inline
package.
The elements are mounted on one leadframe using
a coplanar technique , providing a fixed distance
between input and output for highest safety
requirements.
Applications
Galvanically separated circuits, non-interacting
switches
