Photocoupler 6N137

6n137 is a photocoupler also known as optocoupler that is used to connects the two electrically isolated circuits with the help of light.
It consists of 8 pins where inputs and outputs terminals are electrically isolated which help in controlling the large power, current and AC voltages with small digital signal.
It is great electronic device with is used for both AC and DC signals and allows low voltage signals, digital switch or PC’s output port to control the devices like triacs and power transistors.
6n137 is widely used in energy generation and energy distribution.

It is a main source of producing uninterruptible power supply and is incorporated with LED and photo-detector logic gate that features strobable output.
Main purpose of this output is to exhibit an open collector which allows wired OR-outputs.
The incorporated parameters operate with the temp range from -40 to 85 ºC.
The 6n137 is best choice for input-output buffering and high speed logic interfacing.
