Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators datasheet and documents for 4N38(SHORT,F)

4N38(SHORT,F)

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Overview

The 4N38(SHORT,F) is a single-channel transistor output optocoupler housed in a DIP-6 package. It features a minimum collector-emitter breakdown voltage of 30 V and a nominal current transfer ratio of 100%. The device supports a maximum forward current of 0.06 A with a maximum dark power dissipation of 50 nA. It provides an insulation voltage of 2500 V and operates within a temperature range of -55 °C to 100 °C.

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Feature Summary

Provides electrical isolation via a single-channel transistor output configuration.
Features a short lead pitch design suitable for specific board layouts.
Includes a base connection on the output phototransistor.

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Applications

Industrial control systems requiring signal isolation
Microprocessor input/output interface circuits
Switching power supply feedback loops

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Procurement Notes

Verify compliance status as this variant is marked non-RoHS. Confirm the presence of the internal base pin, which distinguishes it from standard variants. Ensure the DIP-6 package dimensions match the target footprint. Validate that the 30 V breakdown voltage meets circuit requirements.

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Selection Notes

Select this component when a base-connected phototransistor is required for faster switching or linear operation. The 30 V breakdown voltage limits high-voltage applications compared to other series members. Verify thermal management capabilities given the 100 °C maximum operating temperature limit.

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Part Context

This part belongs to the 4N3x family of transistor output optocouplers manufactured by Toshiba Semiconductor and Storage. It shares the basic LED-to-transistor architecture but differs in pin configuration and electrical ratings. The 'SHORT' designation indicates a specific mechanical form factor within the product line.

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the standard 4N38 without the short lead specification if pin compatibility allows. Other 4N35 or 4N37 variants may serve as functional replacements if the base pin requirement is removed and voltage ratings are sufficient.

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators FAQ

What is the difference between 4N38 and 4N38(SHORT,F)?

The 4N38(SHORT,F) features a shorter lead pitch and includes an internal base connection for the phototransistor, whereas the standard 4N38 typically has longer leads and no base pin.
