ZGY8102 from Chau Light, in a DIP-4. 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 | Anode | passive | Anode of the infrared emitting diode; VF is 1.2 V typ and 1.5 V max at IF=20mA, with continuous forward current limited to 50 mA and reverse voltage to 5 V. |
| 2 | Cathode | passive | Cathode of the infrared emitting diode, the return path for the emitter forward current (IF max 50 mA continuous). |
| 3 | Collector | passive | Collector of the NPN silicon phototransistor; VCEO max is 30 V and collector current max is 20 mA. |
| 4 | Emitter | passive | Emitter of the NPN silicon phototransistor; emitter-collector voltage VECO max is 5 V. |
