MCT6, MCT61, MCT62 — Dual Phototransistor Optocouplers
February 2010
MCT6, MCT61, MCT62
Dual Phototransistor Optocouplers
Features
■
Two isolated channels per package
■
Two packages fit into a 16 lead DIP socket
■
Choice of three current transfer ratios
■
Underwriters Laboratory (U.L.) recognized File E90700
■
VDE approved for IEC60747-5-2
Description
The MCT6X Optocouplers have two channels for density
applications. For four channel applications, two-packages
fit into a standard 16-pin DIP socket. Each channel is an
NPN silicon planar phototransistor optically coupled to a
gallium arsenide infrared emitting diode.
Applications
■
AC line/digital logic – isolate high voltage transients
■
Digital logic/digital logic – eliminate spurious grounds
■
Digital logic/AC triac control – isolate high voltage

transients
Twisted pair line receiver – eliminate ground loop
feedthrough
Telephone/telegraph line receiver – isolate high
voltage transients
High frequency power supply feedback control –
maintain floating grounds and transients
Relay contact monitor – isolate floating grounds and
transients
Power supply monitor – isolate transients

Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses exceeding the absolute maximum ratings may damage the device. The device may not function or be
operable above the recommended operating conditions and stressing the parts to these levels is not recommended.
In addition, extended exposure to stresses above the recommended operating conditions may affect device reliability.
The absolute maximum ratings are stress ratings only.
