Additional Details

The PS2561AL1-1-V-A/JT consists of an infrared LED optically coupled to a phototransistor. When current flows through the LED, it emits infrared light, activating the phototransistor and allowing current to flow in the output circuit. The 'AL1' designation likely refers to a particular package type or lead configuration, while '-1' might indicate a specific CTR range or internal component arrangement. The 'V' indicates a high isolation voltage. The 'A/JT' may relate to specific testing procedures or packaging. The typical operating temperature ranges from -55°C to +110°C. This device complies with industry safety standards, including UL, CSA, and VDE.
