DESCRIPTION
The H11C4/H11C5/H11C6 are optically coupled
SCRs with a Gallium Arsenide infrared emitter and
a silicon photo SCR sensor. Switching can be
achieved while maintaining a high degree of isola-
tion between triggering and load circuits. These
optocouplers can be used in SCR triac and solid
state relay applications where high blocking volt-
ages and low input current sensitivity are required.
The H11C4 and H11C5 has a maximum turn-on-cur-
rent of 11 mA. The H11C6 has a maximum of 14 mA.
