That figure is the hipot test voltage, not the continuous working voltage — for a 240 VAC motor drive or an offline SMPS primary-to-secondary gap, this part gives you a safety margin well above the 2500 Vrms that most basic optos carry. The DC input side drives an LED at 1.33 Vf typical, and the output is a phototransistor with the base brought out to a pin. Having the base accessible lets you bias the transistor for faster switching or use it as a photodiode for analog feedback — a detail the repair bench appreciates when a board comes in with a blown output stage. ## 200 ns switching – fast enough for logic-level isolation Turn-on and turn-off times are both 200 ns typical. That is fast enough to isolate a 5 MHz PWM signal from a microcontroller to a gate driver, or to pass a serial data stream like RS-232 at 115.2 kbaud without pulse-width distortion eating your bit timing. Slower optos like the 4N35 (several microseconds) would smear the edges. The minimum current transfer ratio is 19% at 16 mA forward current. At 16 mA LED drive, the output transistor can sink at least 3 mA — enough to pull a 5 V logic input low through a 1.5 kΩ pull-up. If your design runs the LED at lower current, the CTR drops; plan the LED resistor accordingly. ## Active production – no LTB panic yet Vishay lists the 6N136-X007T as Active. ROHS3 compliant, so it passes the European material declarations without an exemption expiry date. The 8-SMD gull-wing package is a standard footprint — no exotic land pattern that forces a board respin. The cut-tape and reel options cover both prototype and production runs.","metaTitle":"6N136-X007T Vishay Optoisolator – 5300 Vrms, 200 ns, Active","metaDescription":"Vishay 6N136-X007T single-channel optoisolator: 5300 Vrms isolation, 200 ns typ switching, DC input, transistor output with base. 8-SMD gull wing.

The die and electrical specs (5300 Vrms, 200 ns, 19% min CTR) are the same. The X007T suffix denotes the 8-SMD gull-wing package and tape-and-reel packaging. Pin-compatible on the die level, but the footprint differs — the gull-wing leads are formed for surface mounting, not through-hole."},{"question":"Is the 6N136-X007T RoHS compliant?","answer":"Yes, it is ROHS3 compliant. No lead, no restricted substances above the exemption thresholds. No special handling beyond normal ESD precautions."},{"question":"What is the closest pin-compatible alternative to the 6N136-X007T?","answer":"The HCPL-2601 from Broadcom (formerly Avago) is a common cross-shop candidate — same single-channel, transistor-with-base output, similar speed. The 6N136-X007T holds a 5300 Vrms isolation rating versus the HCPL-2601's 3750 Vrms. Check the CTR and switching specs against your application before swapping; the pinout is the same 8-pin DIP/SMD layout."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"icboms-matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://icboms.com/vishay/6N136-X007T","citationPolicyUrl":"https://icboms.com/llms.txt","source":"ICBOMS","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"ICBOMS\" and link https://icboms.com/vishay/6N136-X007T when reusing this data.
