Product Overview

The device supports a 10 Mbit/s data rate and 5000 Vrms isolation voltage under the stated 1-minute AC test condition. Electrical limits include 50 mA maximum input forward current, 5 V maximum input reverse voltage, 7.0 V maximum output and supply voltage, and a VE limit of VCC + 0.5 V not exceeding 5.5 V. Operating temperature is -40 to +85 °C, with storage from -55 to +125 °C.

Switching characteristics include 35 ns typical propagation delay to output high level, 40 ns typical propagation delay to output low level, 5 ns typical pulse-width distortion, 40 ns typical rise time, and 10 ns typical fall time under the listed load conditions. Assembly guidance includes a 0.1 uF or larger VCC-to-GND bypass capacitor placed close to the package, 260 °C maximum soldering for 10 seconds, and a JEDEC-referenced 260 °C peak reflow profile up to 3 times.

Procurement Notes

When requesting a quote for EL_6N137_EL26XX, 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 LED and optoelectronic sourcing, brightness bin, wavelength or color temperature bin, forward voltage range, viewing angle, moisture sensitivity level and soldering process limits may affect final selection, availability and lead time.
