Please note: As part of the Fairchild Semiconductor integration, some of the Fairchild orderable part numbers
will need to change in order to meet ON Semiconductor’s system requirements. Since the ON Semiconductor
product management systems do not have the ability to manage part nomenclature that utilizes an underscore
(_), the underscore (_) in the Fairchild part numbers will be changed to a dash (-). This document may contain
device numbers with an underscore (_). Please check the ON Semiconductor website to verify the updated
device numbers. The most current and up-to-date ordering information can be found at www.onsemi.com. Please
email any questions regarding the system integration to Fairchild_questions@onsemi.com.

8-Pin Dual Channel Phototransistor Optocouplers
Features
• Two Isolated Channels Per Package
• Safety and Regulatory Approvals:
– UL1577, 5,000 VACRMS for 1 Minute
– DIN-EN/IEC60747-5-5, 890 V Peak Working
Insulation Voltage
Applications
• AC line/digital logic – isolate high voltage transients
• Digital logic/digital logic – eliminate spurious grounds
• Digital logic/AC triac control – isolate high voltage
• transients
• Twisted pair line receiver – eliminate ground loop
• feedthrough
• Telephone/telegraph line receiver – isolate high
• voltage transients

• maintain floating grounds and transients
• Relay contact monitor – isolate floating grounds and
• transients
• Power supply monitor – isolate transients
Description
The general purpose optocouplers, MCT6, MCT61, and
MCT62, have two isolated channels in a standard plastic
8-pin dual-in-line (DIP) package for density applications.
Each channel consists of a gallium arsenide infrared
emitting diode driving a NPN silicon planar
phototransistor. For four channel applications, two
packages fit into a standard 16-pin DIP socket.

Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses exceeding the absolute maximum ratings may damage the device. The device may not function or be opera-
ble above the recommended operating conditions and stressing the parts to these levels is not recommended. In addi-
tion, extended exposure to stresses above the recommended operating conditions may affect device reliability. The
absolute maximum ratings are stress ratings only. TA = 25°C unless otherwise specified.
