MCT2M

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Overview

The MCT2M is a transistor output optoisolator manufactured by onsemi. It features a single channel configuration housed in a PDIP-6 package, designed for through-hole mounting. The device utilizes a GaAs infrared LED coupled to an NPN phototransistor to provide electrical isolation between input and output circuits. Key specifications include a maximum forward voltage of 1.5V and a typical rise time of 2.4μs. It supports a maximum input current of 60mA and offers an isolation voltage rating of 5000V AC. The component operates within a temperature range starting from -55°C.
