6N136V Optoisolator Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 6N136V is an optoisolator transistor with base output manufactured by onsemi, rated for 2500Vrms isolation voltage in an 8-DIP through-hole package. This component is classified as obsolete, making equivalent and substitute parts necessary for new designs and ongoing production support. The 6N136V provides galvanic isolation for low-speed signal transmission in industrial and consumer applications requiring DC input control with transistor output capability.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the 6N136V is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Package compatibility: 8-DIP (0.300", 7.62mm) through-hole mounting
• 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
• Pinout compatibility: Base product number 6N136 or equivalent functional pinout

The substitute parts listed below meet these criteria with equal or superior isolation voltage ratings and compatible electrical characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

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.
