Procurement Notes

When requesting a quote for 4N35, buyers should confirm the manufacturer, package or case, required quantity, target date code, compliance documents, packing method, destination country and expected delivery schedule.

If alternatives are acceptable, buyers should share the approved vendor list, required electrical or optical limits, package constraints and qualification requirements. Any alternative part should be reviewed by the buyer's engineering team before production use.

For optocoupler and isolation sourcing, isolation voltage, CTR or output type, package, creepage distance, temperature grade, agency approvals and soldering conditions should be verified before approval.
