Description

The general purpose optocouplers, MCT6, MCT61, and MCT62, have two isolated channels in a standard plastic 8-pin dual-in-line (DIP) package for density applications. Each channel consists of a gallium arsenide infrared emitting diode driving a NPN silicon planar phototransistor. For four channel applications, two packages fit into a standard 16-pin DIP socket.
