Description
The EL814 series of devices each consist of two infrared
emitting diodes, connected in inverse parallel, optically
coupled to a phototransistor detector.
They are packaged in a 4-pin DIP package and available
in wide-lead spacing and SMD option. Schematic
Applications
• AC line monitor
• Programmable controllers
• Telephone line interface
• Unknown polarity DC sensor
Pin Configuration
1. Anode / Cathode
2. Cathode / Anode
