Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 6N135VM and 6N135M are active production components manufactured by onsemi with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts is based on availability and supply chain considerations rather than functional differences. Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting regulatory requirements for industrial and commercial applications. The through-hole 8-DIP package ensures compatibility with standard PCB assembly processes and breadboard prototyping environments.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 6N135M be used as a direct replacement for the 6N135VM?

A: Yes. The 6N135M is a parametric equivalent with identical isolation voltage, current transfer ratio, switching characteristics, output configuration, and package specification. Both components are manufactured by onsemi and share the same base product number 6N135.

Q: What determines substitutability for the 6N135VM optoisolator?

A: Substitutability is determined by matching the isolation voltage rating (5000Vrms), number of channels (1), output type (Transistor with Base), current transfer ratio range (7-50% @ 16mA), switching times (230ns/450ns), maximum output voltage (20V), output current (8mA), and package type (8-DIP through-hole).

Q: Are there any compliance differences between the 6N135VM and 6N135M?

A: No. Both parts maintain identical RoHS3 compliance status and REACH unaffected designation. Both are classified under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8541.49.8000.

Q: What is the significance of the 8-DIP package specification?

A: The 8-DIP (0.300", 7.62mm) package is a standard through-hole configuration enabling direct PCB mounting and breadboard compatibility. This package type is consistent across both the main part and substitute, ensuring mechanical and electrical interchangeability.

Q: How do the current transfer ratio specifications affect circuit design?

A: The current transfer ratio range of 7% to 50% @ 16mA defines the relationship between input LED current and output transistor current. This parameter must be considered during input drive circuit design to ensure adequate output current for the load requirements.
