6N137-L from Lite On, in a DIP-8. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.
Pinout
| Pin | Name | Type | Function |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | NC | unconnected | No connection; internally not connected on the input side. |
| 2 | ANODE | passive | LED anode input; recommended high-level input current IFH is 5 to 15 mA, with 20 mA maximum average forward current. |
| 3 | CATHODE | passive | LED cathode input; return for the LED current, with reverse input voltage limited to 5 V. |
| 4 | NC | unconnected | No connection; internally not connected on the input side. |
| 5 | GND | power_in | Output-side ground; a 0.1 uF bypass capacitor must be connected between pin 8 and pin 5. |
| 6 | VO | output | Open-collector Schottky-clamped output, needs pull-up resistor RL of 330 ohm to 4 kOhm, 7 V maximum output voltage and 50 mA maximum collector current. |
| 7 | VE | input | Enable input to strobe the detector; low level 0 to 0.8 V disables output to high, high level 2 V to VCC, may be left NC (output follows LED), maximum VCC+0.5 V. |
| 8 | VCC | power_in | Supply voltage, 2.7 to 3.6 V or 4.5 to 5.5 V recommended, 7 V absolute maximum, with 0.1 uF bypass to pin 5. |
