GlobalOptoisolator™
6-Pin DIP Optoisolators
Transistor Output
The 4N38 and 4N38A(1) devices consist of a gallium arsenide infrared
emitting diode optically coupled to a monolithic silicon phototransistor detector.
•
Guaranteed 80 Volt Collector–to–Emitter Breakdown ((BR)CEO)) Minimum
•
Meets or Exceeds All JEDEC Registered Specifications
•
To order devices that are tested and marked per VDE 0884 requirements, the
suffix ”V” must be included at end of part number. VDE 0884 is a test option.
Applications
•
General Purpose Switching Circuits
•
Interfacing and coupling systems of different potentials and impedances
•
Monitor and Detection Circuits

4N38 does not require UL approval; 4N38A does. Otherwise both parts are identical. Both parts
built by Motorola have UL approval.
Isolation surge voltage is an internal device dielectric breakdown rating.
For this test, Pins 1 and 2 are common, and Pins 4, 5 and 6 are common.
Refer to Quality and Reliability Section in Opto Data Book for information on test conditions.
Preferred
devices are Motorola recommended choices for future use and best overall value.
