6N137A-X001

Overview

The Vishay 6N137A-X001 is a high-speed logic output optoisolator featuring an open-collector NPN phototransistor. It provides 5.3 kVrms isolation voltage and supports data rates up to 10 MBd. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 7 V and functions across temperatures from -40 °C to 85 °C. Packaged in an 8-DIP (0.300 inch) format, it utilizes tin/lead terminal plating.

Feature Summary

• High-speed signal transmission capability with 10 MBd data rate
• Robust electrical isolation rated at 5.3 kVrms
• Open-collector output configuration for flexible interfacing

Applications

• High-speed digital communication interfaces
• Microprocessor system isolation
• Signal transmission in noisy environments

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors. Confirm package dimensions match the 8-DIP specification. Check RoHS compliance status as datasheets indicate non-compliance. Ensure storage conditions preserve leaded terminal integrity before soldering.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high-speed isolation exceeding standard optocoupler limits is required. The open-collector output necessitates external pull-up resistors. Verify input current requirements align with driving circuit capabilities. Consider thermal management for continuous operation near maximum temperature ratings.

Part Context

This part belongs to the 6N137 series of high-speed optocouplers originally developed by HP and now manufactured by Vishay. The series is designed for applications requiring fast response times and high isolation voltages. The X001 suffix typically denotes specific packaging or tape-and-reel configurations within the DIP family.
