Schematic .pdf 140 KB Shared

Component documentation for the 4N38 optocoupler, filed under schematics though it is in practice a part datasheet in PDF form of about 140 KB. The 4N series are LED-input, phototransistor-output isolators found in power supply feedback loops, interface boards and industrial controls. A technician uses such a sheet to check pinout, LED forward current, isolation rating and current transfer ratio before swapping a suspect isolator. Compare the marking and package on the board with the drawing before substituting a part.
