Motorola Optoelectronics Device Data
6-Pin DIP Optoisolators
Transistor Output
The 4N35, 4N36 and 4N37 devices consist of a gallium arsenide infrared
emitting diode optically coupled to a monolithic silicon phototransistor detector.
Current Transfer Ratio — 100% Minimum @ Specified Conditions
Guaranteed Switching Speeds
Meets or Exceeds all JEDEC Registered Specifications
To order devices that are tested and marked per VDE 0884 requirements, the
suffix ”V” must be included at end of part number. VDE 0884 is a test option.
