Additional Details

The PS2561AL1-1-1-V comprises an infrared LED and a phototransistor. When current is applied to the LED, it emits infrared light, activating the phototransistor and allowing current to flow through the output circuit. The 'AL1' likely refers to a specific package type or lead form, while '-1-1' may indicate a particular CTR range or internal configuration. The 'V' designates a high isolation voltage rating. Typical operating temperature ranges from -55°C to +110°C. The device meets several industry safety standards, including UL, CSA, and VDE. Designers should consult the datasheet for precise specifications, such as CTR values, input forward voltage, and output saturation voltage.
