Very High Current Transfer Ratio (500% Min.)
High Isolation Resistance
Low Coupling Capacitance
Standard Plastic Dip Package
The 4N29, 4N30, 4N31, 4N32, 4N33 are optically coupled isolators consisting
of a Gallium Arsenide infrared emitter and a silicon photo darlington sensor.
Switching can be accomplished while maintaining a high degree or isolation
between driving and load circuits. They can be used to replace reed and mercury
relays with advantages of long life, high speed switching and elimination of
magnetic fields. Surface Mount Option Available.
All electrical parameters are 100% tested by manufacturing. Specifications
are guaranteed to a cumulative 0.65% AQL
