Description
The 4N35 Opto-isolator is a general-purpose 6 pin DIP phototransistor optocoupler ideal for isolating different sections of a circuit.
Each device contains a gallium arsenide infrared LED and a silicon NPN phototransistor, offering high electrical isolation between input and output perfect for digital logic, signal interfacing, and power system control.
A reliable choice for noise sensitive applications, microcontroller protection, industrial electronics, or switching between high and low voltage domains.
