6N137

3D generated from the datasheet; KiCad's model does not fit this maker's body.

Everlight Elec · Logic Output Optoisolators · DIP-8

6N137 from Everlight Elec, in a DIP-8. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model). Symbol and footprint from KiCad-official CAD; the 3D model is generated from the datasheet's package dimensions.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 No Connection no_connect No connection.
2 Anode passive Input LED anode.
3 Cathode passive Input LED cathode.
4 No Connection no_connect No connection.
5 Gnd power_in Output-side ground. A 0.1 µF bypass capacitor must be connected between pins 8 and 5.
6 Vout output Logic gate output (open collector).
7 VE input Enable input (Enable input voltage not to exceed VCC).
8 VCC power_in Output-side supply (max 7.0 V). Bypass 0.1 µF to pin 5.

CAD (land: KiCad; 3D: generated from the datasheet)

  • Symbol: 6N137
  • Footprint: Package_DIP:DIP-8_W7.62mm
  • 3D model: DIP-8, generated on the KiCad land (body 6.6 x 9.76 mm, terminals on the pads, 4.5 mm tall, datasheet A, nominal). KiCad's stock model for this land is taller than the datasheet allows, so the model is generated from the datasheet drawing; the dimensions come from the datasheet drawing where it was read and are defaults otherwise (see provenance.model_3d_generated), not the manufacturer's CAD (STEP)
  • 3D model files: 6n137-everlight-etched.step / 6n137-everlight-etched.glb carry the MPN laser-etched on the die in a toggleable Adom.LaserEtch group (Fusion-ready); 6n137-everlight.step / 6n137-everlight.glb are the bare package body.

Provenance

Data extracted from the manufacturer datasheet, not a distributor listing:

  • Datasheet: Everlight Elec datasheet (15 pp, sha256 a59e01429a38970a, retrieved 2026-11-13, tier: manufacturer)
  • Extractor: ds2sf (Claude). Every pin and dimension is cited to a datasheet page; it refuses to fabricate.
  • CAD: land: KiCad official libraries (CC-BY-SA 4.0); 3D: generated from the datasheet's package dimensions (provenance.model_3d_generated).
