High Isolation Resistance Low Coupling Capacitance Standard Plastic Dip Package Description The 4N29, 4N30, 4N31, 4N32, 4N33 are optically coupled isolators consisting of a Gallium Arsenide infrared emitter and a silicon photo darlington sensor. Switching can be accomplished while maintaining a high degree or isolation between driving and load circuits. They can be used to replace reed and mercury relays with advantages of long life, high speed switching and elimination of magnetic fields. Surface Mount Option Available. All electrical parameters are 100% tested by manufacturing. Specifications are guaranteed to a cumulative 0.65% AQL Absolute Maximum Ratings: (Ta=25C) Storage Temperature: -55C to +150C Operating Temperature: -55C to +100C Lead Soldering: 260C for 10s, 1.6mm from case Input-to-Output Isolation Voltage: 2500 Vdc (4N29, 4N32) 1500 Vdc (4N30, 4N31, 4N33) Input Diode Forward DC Current: Reverse DC Voltage: Peak Forward Current: Power Dissipation: Derate Linearly: 60mA 3V 3A (t p=10s) 100mW 1.33mW/C above 25C Output Transistor Collector-Emitter Voltage: Emitter-Collector Voltage: Power Dissipation: Derate Linearly: 30V 7V 150mW 2.00mW/C above 25C Package Total Power Dissipation: Derate Linearly: 250mW 3.3mW/C above 25C Electro-optical Characteristics (Ta=25C) INPUT PARAMETER CONDITIONS VF Forward Voltage IF=10mA 1.5 IR Reverse Current VR=3.0V 100 A VR Reverse Breakdown Voltage IR=100A 3 OUTPUT PARAMETER CONDITIONS MIN TYP MAX UNIT BVCEO Collector-Emitter Voltage IC=1mA 30 V BVECO Emitter-Collector Voltage IE=100A 5 V ICEO Collector-Emitter Dark Current VCE=10V, IB=0 CCE Collector-Emitter Capacitance VCE=0 COUPLED PARAMETER CONDITIONS MIN TYP MAX UNIT DC Current Transfer Ratio 4N31 IF=10mA, VCE=10V 50 mA 4N29, 4N30 IB=0 100 mA 500 mA 1E11 ohm IC/IF 4N32, 4N33 RIO Input-to-Output Isolation Resistance VIO=500V, (Note 1) MIN TYP MAX UNIT V V 100 nA 10 pf VCE(Sat) Collector-Emitter Saturation Voltage IF=8mA, IC=2mA, IB=0 4N29, 4N30, 4N32, 4N33 VCC=10V, IC=2mA 4N31 1 V 1.2 V SWITCHING SPEED PARAMETER CONDITIONS T on Turn-On Time IC=50mA V,CC=10V 5 s IF=200mA, P.W.=1.0m.s. 40 s MIN TYP MAX UNIT Turn-Off Time 4N29, 4N30, 4N31 T off 4N32, 4N33 100 s Input-to-Output Isolation Voltage 4N29, 4N32 4N30, 4N31, 4N33 Note 1 2500 VDC 1500 VDC Notes Note 1.
