MCT2ETM

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Overview

The MCT2ETM is a single-channel optocoupler featuring an AlGaAs infrared LED coupled to a phototransistor output with an integrated base terminal. It provides high isolation voltage of 7500 Vpk and a minimum current transfer ratio of 20% at 10 mA forward current. Typical switching times are 2 µs for both turn-on and turn-off. The device is housed in a 6-DIP package, designed for reliable signal transmission across isolated circuits.
