OCP-PCP116

Overview

The OCP-PCP116 is a digital output optocoupler manufactured by Lumex Opto/Components Inc. It features an open collector configuration and provides electrical isolation with a rated voltage of 5000Vrms. The device is housed in a 6-DIP package, designed for surface or through-hole mounting depending on the specific variant (OCP-PCP116 vs OCP-PCP116-TR). It operates with DC input signals and delivers digital logic outputs, suitable for applications requiring galvanic isolation between circuits.

Feature Summary

• Provides high-voltage electrical isolation between input and output circuits
• Features a digital open collector output configuration for logic interfacing
• Utilizes a compact 6-pin DIP package design

Applications

• Digital signal isolation in microcontroller systems
• Interface circuits for industrial control panels
• Isolation barriers in power supply feedback loops

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific packaging suffix when ordering, as the base part number may refer to tube packaging while the -TR suffix indicates tape and reel. Confirm the active lifecycle status with the manufacturer or authorized distributors prior to finalizing procurement plans, as availability can vary by region and distributor. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints for 6-DIP packages.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a robust 5000Vrms isolation barrier is required for digital logic signals. The open collector output necessitates an external pull-up resistor for proper high-state voltage levels. Consider the operating temperature range and propagation delay specifications if timing-critical applications are involved. Compare against similar optocouplers if higher current transfer ratios or different output types like transistors are needed.

Part Context

This component belongs to Lumex's family of logic output optoisolators. These devices are engineered to provide reliable signal transmission across isolated domains while preventing ground loops and protecting sensitive low-voltage circuitry from high-voltage transients. The 6-DIP form factor allows for easy integration into standard breadboards and prototyping setups.
