1. SCOPE
1.1 Scope. This specification covers the performance requirements for solid state optically coupled isolators in which a gallium
arsenide or gallium aluminum arsenide diode light source is optically coupled to a silicon NPN phototransistor. Four levels of product
assurance are provided for each device type as specified in MIL-PRF-19500.
1.2 Physical dimensions. See figures 1 and 2.
1.3 Maximum ratings. Unless otherwise specified, maximum ratings apply to all case outlines and TA = +25°C.

NOTES:
1. Dimensions are in inches.
2. Metric equivalents are given for general information only.
3. T.P. designates true position. Leads having maximum diameter .019 inches (0.48 mm) measured in gauging plane .054 +
.001, -.000 inch (1.37 +0.03, -0.00 mm) below the seating plane of the device shall be within .007 inch (0.18 mm) of their
true position relative to a maximum width tab.
4. 4N22A, 4N23A, and 4N24A have collector isolated from the case.
5. In accordance with ANSI Y14.5M, diameters are equivalent to
∅x
symbology.
