Additional Details
The TLP747G is designed to meet international safety standards. The Current Transfer Ratio (CTR) is an important specification as it determines the output current for a given input current. The 'G' suffix indicates it is RoHS compliant and lead-free. Refer to the datasheet for complete specifications including isolation voltage, CTR range, operating temperature, and package dimensions. It's likely a through-hole device.
