FEATURES

DESCRIPTION

HIGH ISOLATION VOLTAGE (BV)

5000 Vr.m.s.: normal specification products

NEC's PS2561-1, -2 and -4 and PS2561L-1, -2 and -4 are

optically coupled isolators containing a GaAs light emitting
diode and a NPN silicon phototransistor. PS2561-1, -2 and 4 are in a plastic DIP (Dual In-line Package) and PS2561L-1,
-2 and -4 are in a lead bending type (Gull-wing) for surface
mount.
