Offers robust voltage isolation between the input and output stages (typically rated up to 2,500V RMS or higher depending on the specific package variant).
Used in programmable logic controllers (PLCs), sensor interfaces, and robotic systems where high-speed, noise-free logic isolation is crucial.
Above 25°C, derate total power by approximately 2.5 mW/°C. At 100°C, P_tot drops to ~150 mW. a1458 optocoupler datasheet
