MCT2E Phototransistor Optocoupler IC DIP-6
The MCT2E is a versatile and widely used phototransistor optocoupler, also known as an opto-isolator. It is an essential component for projects requiring electrical isolation between two circuits. This device uses light to transmit electrical signals between its input and output, preventing direct electrical connection.
Features
- High Isolation Voltage: Provides robust electrical isolation up to 5300 VRMS, safeguarding circuits from high voltage spikes and noise.
- Interfaces with Common Logic Families: Easily integrates with standard logic circuits.
- Low Input-Output Coupling Capacitance: Less than 0.5 pF, ensuring minimal signal interference.
- Industry Standard Package: Comes in a 6-pin Dual In-line Package (DIP), making it suitable for breadboarding and PCB mounting.
- Wide Operating Temperature Range: Functions effectively in a broad temperature range from -55°C to +100°C.
