DESCRIPTION

Both 10 MBd widebody optocouplers consist of a GaAlAs

infrared emitting diode, optically coupled with an integrated

photo detector. The detector incorporating an integral

Faraday shield provides a high level of noise isolation,

required by high power switching applications.

Vishay’s 10 MBd widebody couplers feature a high level of

isolation distance, exhibiting an external creepage distance

of > 10 mm. This makes these parts ideal for applications

with working voltages exceeding 1000 V.
