TT Electronics' Optek Technology has developed a series of NPN silicon phototransistors in 1206 chip packages.
"Available in miniature packages, our optocouplers provide total electrical isolation for a wide range of applications", says Alan Bennett, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Optek Technology.
"We are excited about the opportunity to provide design engineers with a broad selection of quality analogue and digital output optocouplers that can be specified to operate in a number of environments".
Optek's optocouplers are designed for applications that require either analogue or digital output (phototransistor, photodarlington or Photologic) in a dual-inline package, with either a single or dual LED transmitter.
Typical isolation voltage is 2500, 3750 and 5000V RMS, making the devices ideal for most power system isolation requirements.
There are three series of optocouplers available: the OP1A400 Series of analogue-output devices in economical 4-pin surface mount DIP or SSOP packages; the OPIA500/600 Series of analogue-output devices in economical 5-pin or 6-pin DIP or SMD packages; and the OPIA/D800 Series of high-speed analogue or digital Photologic output devices in 8-pin DIP or SMD packages.
