Optocoupler, Phototransistor Output,
with Base Connection
4N25/4N26/4N27/4N28
Vishay Semiconductors
DESCRIPTION
The 4N25 family is an Industry Standard Single Channel
Phototransistor Coupler. This family includes the
4N25/4N26/4N27/4N28. Each optocoupler consists of
gallium arsenide infrared LED and a silicon NPN
phototransistor.
These couplers are Underwriters Laboratories (UL) listed to
comply with a 5300 V
RMS
isolation test voltage. This isolation
performance is accomplished through special Vishay
manufacturing process.
Compliance to DIN EN 60747-5-2 (VDE0884)/
DIN EN 60747-5-5 pending partial discharge isolation
specification is available by ordering option 1.
These isolation processes and the Vishay ISO9001 quality
program results in the highest isolation performance
available for a commercial plastic phototransistor
optocoupler.
The devices are also available in lead formed configuration
suitable for surface mounting and are available either on
tape and reel, or in standard tube shipping containers.
