- Functional equivalence: Single-channel optoisolator with transistor output and base connection
- Isolation voltage rating: Minimum 2500Vrms (higher ratings are acceptable)
- Output specifications: Maximum 20V output, 8mA per channel
- Input type: DC input
- Operating temperature range: Must support -55°C ~ 100°C or equivalent industrial range

Engineering Selection Recommendations
6N136-000E is the primary direct substitute for the 6N136V. Both parts share the same base product number (6N136), identical package, and compatible electrical specifications. The 6N136-000E offers higher isolation voltage (3750Vrms vs. 2500Vrms) and is currently in active production status with ROHS3 compliance, making it suitable for new designs and production continuity.
HCPL-4562 series (HCPL-4562, HCPL-4562-000E, HCPL-4562-020E, HCPL-4562-060E) provides functional equivalence with identical package and output specifications. These parts are manufactured by Broadcom Limited and carry active product status with ROHS3 compliance. The HCPL-4562-020E offers the highest isolation voltage rating (5000Vrms). Selection within this series depends on isolation voltage requirements and operating temperature constraints. The HCPL-4562 series operates at -40°C ~ 85°C, which is narrower than the 6N136V range of -55°C ~ 100°C; applications requiring extended temperature operation should prioritize the 6N136-000E.
All substitute parts maintain the same 8-DIP through-hole package, single-channel configuration, and transistor output with base connection, ensuring direct functional replacement in existing circuit designs.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can the 6N136-000E directly replace the 6N136V without circuit modifications?
A: Yes. Both parts share the same base product number, 8-DIP package, pinout, and functional output configuration. The 6N136-000E provides equal or superior electrical performance with higher isolation voltage rating (3750Vrms vs. 2500Vrms).
Q: What is the difference between the HCPL-4562 variants?
A: The HCPL-4562 series variants differ primarily in isolation voltage rating and packaging format. HCPL-4562-020E provides 5000Vrms isolation, while HCPL-4562, HCPL-4562-000E, and HCPL-4562-060E provide 3750Vrms isolation. All variants maintain identical output specifications (20V maximum, 8mA per channel) and 8-DIP package compatibility.
Q: Are there temperature range limitations when substituting with HCPL-4562 series parts?
A: Yes. The HCPL-4562 series operates at -40°C ~ 85°C, which is narrower than the 6N136V operating range of -55°C ~ 100°C. For applications requiring operation below -40°C or above 85°C, the 6N136-000E is the appropriate substitute, as it maintains the extended temperature range of -55°C ~ 100°C.
Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?
A: All listed substitute parts (6N136-000E and HCPL-4562 series) are ROHS3 compliant. The original 6N136V RoHS status is not specified in the provided data.
Q: What is the current transfer ratio specification for HCPL-4562 series parts?
A: Current transfer ratio specifications are not provided for the HCPL-4562 series in the available data. The 6N136V and 6N136-000E both specify 19% minimum and 50% maximum current transfer ratio at 16mA input current.
Q: Can I use a higher isolation voltage rated part as a substitute?
A: Yes. Higher isolation voltage ratings are acceptable substitutes for applications designed for lower isolation voltages. The HCPL-4562-020E (5000Vrms) can replace the 6N136V (2500Vrms) without functional degradation, provided other electrical parameters and temperature requirements are met.
