4N38A(SHORT,F) is listed in the Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators range at ChipApex. The manufacturer field lists Toshiba Semiconductor and Storage. Its product description is OPTOISO 2.5KV TRANS W/BASE 6-DIP. Review the specifications below when checking this part for your BOM.
The 4N38A(SHORT,F) is a single-channel transistor output optocoupler manufactured by Toshiba Semiconductor and Storage. It features a DIP-6 package with tin/lead (Sn/Pb) terminal plating. The device provides electrical isolation with a minimum collector-emitter breakdown voltage of 80V and a maximum insulation voltage of 2500V. Key electrical parameters include a nominal current transfer ratio of 100%, a maximum dark power supply of 50nA, and a maximum forward current of 0.08A. The component operates within a temperature range of -55°C to 100°C.
Verify the specific suffix designation against official Toshiba documentation to confirm pin configuration and material compliance. Ensure that the tin/lead terminal plating meets project requirements regarding lead-free regulations if applicable. Confirm that the operating temperature range aligns with the environmental conditions of the target application before finalizing procurement specifications.
Select this component when a standard transistor output optocoupler with moderate isolation voltage is required. The 80V breakdown voltage limits suitability for high-voltage side sensing; consider alternative models for higher voltage isolation needs. Verify compatibility with system logic levels due to the specified current transfer ratio characteristics. Ensure the DIP-6 footprint matches the printed circuit board layout constraints.
This part belongs to the 4N38 series of general-purpose optocouplers from Toshiba Semiconductor and Storage. The series is designed for basic isolation tasks where cost-effectiveness and standard performance are prioritized over high-speed or high-current capabilities. The SHORT variant typically denotes a specific mechanical dimension or lead form adjustment within the standard DIP-6 family.
