Features
Mechanical Data
Case: JEDEC DO-215AB molded plastic over
• Underwriters Laboratory Recognition under UL standard
for safety 497B: Isolated Loop Circuit Protection
passivated junction
• Low profile package with built-in strain relief for
surface mounted applications
Terminals: Solder plated, solderable per
MIL-STD-750, Method 2026
• Glass passivated junction
