The TIL118-1 is a transistor output optocoupler, a through-hole component that provides galvanic isolation between a low-voltage control side and a higher-voltage load side using an internal phototransistor. It is typically specified in industrial control interfaces, PLC digital inputs, motor drive feedback paths, and power-supply isolation barriers where a simple on/off signal must cross a potential difference without a direct electrical connection.
The RoHS non-compliant marking means this part contains lead or other restricted substances above the RoHS threshold — it is not eligible for use in EU RoHS-regulated products or any BOM that requires full RoHS compliance.
Sourcing reality for the TIL118-1
Because the TIL118-1 is active and RoHS non-compliant, it is not a standard stock item at most franchised distributors who have shifted to RoHS-compliant lines. Sourcing runs through independent distribution channels that carry legacy and non-compliant inventory.
