Additional Details:
The MOCD206R1M consists of two infrared emitting diodes (IREDs) and two phototransistors. When current flows through an IRED, it emits infrared light, which activates the corresponding phototransistor, allowing current to flow in the output circuit. The isolation voltage rating specifies the maximum voltage the optocoupler can withstand between input and output. The current transfer ratio (CTR) indicates the efficiency of signal transfer. The device is typically available in surface mount packages. For detailed specifications, refer to the datasheet provided by ON Semiconductor.
