Quick Spec Reference for Instrument Designers
Why is this here? Instrument projects usually fail on ratings, not on appearance. OPTO PLUS standard parts operate from -40 to +85 degrees C, withstand 5 V reverse voltage, are rated at 20 mA continuous per segment (about 48 mW), and allow a 40 mA peak current at 1/10 duty. Design around the 20 mA continuous rating first, and check every value against the datasheet of the selected part number before layout.
