Agilent 4N25
Phototransistor Optocoupler
General Purpose Type
Data Sheet
Description
The 4N25 is an optocoupler for
general purpose applications. It
contains a light emitting diode
optically coupled to a photo-
transistor. It is packaged in a 6-pin
DIP package and available in wide-
lead spacing option and lead bend
SMD option. Response time, t
r
, is
typically 3
µs
and minimum CTR is
20% at input current of 10 mA.
