Design a Custom BoardAbout This Component
Single-channel optocoupler with transistor output in 8-pin stretched SOIC package. Provides galvanic isolation between input and output circuits with typical CTR of 50% minimum. Suitable for gate-drive applications, power supply feedback, and isolated signal transmission in industrial and consumer electronics.
Package: SOIC-8 (3.9×4.9mm) · 8 pins
Why does this need a breakout?
An 8-pin SOIC with 1.27mm pitch is too fine for breadboards and hand-soldering without a microscope. A breakout board routes these pins to standard 0.1" headers, enabling rapid prototyping and reliable connections for op-amps, transceivers, and small power MOSFETs without requiring reflow equipment.
