EL6N137 optocoupler IC DIP8 package

an optocoupler is a device that transmits an electrical signal between two isolated circuits using light. optocouplers protect the receiving signal system from damage that high voltages may cause. ordinary optocouplers consist of an led and a phototransistor in a single package. the ic el6n137 is a single optocoupler with a phototransistor output, along with a base connection pin for the transistor.
