6N138SM Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

  • The recommended operating temperature range for the 6N138SM is -40°C to 100°C. However, it's essential to note that the device's performance may degrade at extreme temperatures, and the maximum junction temperature should not exceed 150°C.

  • To ensure proper biasing, make sure to provide a sufficient voltage supply to the LED (typically 1.2V to 1.5V) and a suitable current limiting resistor (typically 1kΩ to 10kΩ) to limit the LED current to the recommended 10mA to 30mA range.

  • The 6N138SM has a maximum allowable isolation voltage of 5.0kVrms between the input and output. This means that the device can withstand a maximum voltage difference of 5.0kVrms between the LED anode and the phototransistor collector.

  • To prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage, handle the 6N138SM with proper ESD protection equipment, such as wrist straps, mats, and bags. Also, ensure that the device is stored in a conductive bag or container when not in use.

  • The 6N138SM has a relatively slow response time (typically 10μs to 20μs) and is not suitable for high-frequency applications above 100kHz. For high-frequency applications, consider using a faster optocoupler with a shorter response time.
