MCT5211-X007

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Overview

The MCT5211-X007 is a single-channel transistor output optocoupler manufactured by Vishay Semiconductor Opto Division. It features an AlGaAs LED optically coupled to an NPN phototransistor with a base lead for sensitivity control. Key electrical parameters include a maximum collector-emitter voltage of 80 V, a collector current of 100 mA, and a minimum current transfer ratio of 150%. The device provides 5300 Vrms isolation voltage and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +100°C. It is housed in a 6-DIP package.

• Solid-state relay driver circuits
• Microprocessor system interface isolation

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix X007 against the official Vishay datasheet to confirm packaging and tape-and-reel specifications. Ensure the component matches the required isolation voltage and pinout configuration for your circuit design. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number to avoid confusion with similar Vishay or onsemi variants that may have different electrical characteristics or package styles.

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Selection Notes

Select this component when high-speed digital isolation is not the primary requirement but cost-effective analog or DC signal isolation is needed. The integrated base allows for adjustable gain and switching speed trade-offs. Consider the 80V collector voltage limit and 100mA current capacity to ensure adequate headroom for the load application.

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Part Context

This part belongs to the MCT5211 series of general-purpose optocouplers. It is distinct from logic-output isolators like the 6N137, offering simpler linear or switching capabilities. The X007 suffix typically denotes a specific bulk or reel packaging option within the Vishay product line, differing from other suffixes that might indicate tape-and-reel or different environmental ratings.

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the MCT5210 if base connection is not utilized, or the MCT5211M from onsemi which shares similar electrical characteristics. Verify pin compatibility and isolation voltage ratings before substitution. Other Vishay variants may require schematic adjustments due to differences in current transfer ratio or package dimensions.
