About this manual

The MCT6H and MCT62H are dual‑channel optocouplers that combine a phototransistor with a gallium‑arsenide infrared LED in a 6‑lead plastic DIP package. They are designed for galvanically isolated circuits and non‑interacting switch applications.

Key specifications include a typical current transfer ratio (CTR) of 100 % for the MCT62H and >50 % for the MCT6H, a 5000 VRMS isolation test voltage, wide ambient temperature range (‑40 °C to +100 °C), and low coupling capacitance (≈0.3 pF). The device meets RoHS and WEEE requirements and is UL1577 certified.
