TOSHIBA Photocoupler IRED & Photo-Transistor TLP185 Office Machine Programmable Controllers AC Adapter I/O Interface Board TLP185 Unit: mm The TOSHIBA mini flat coupler TLP185 is a small outline coupler, suitable for surface mount assembly. TLP185 consists of a photo transistor optically coupled to an infrared emitting diode. Since TLP185 is smaller than DIP package, it’s suitable for highdensity surface mounting applications such as programmable controllers. Collector-emitter voltag.
