00 — Overview

What the LTV-357T family does

The LTV-357T is a subminiature optocoupler featuring double transfer mold technology for high-density mounting. It provides a minimum current transfer ratio of 50% at 5mA input and 5V, alongside 3,750Vrms isolation voltage and a 35V collector-emitter rating. This component supports a 2.0mm profile and carries UL, CSA, and other major safety approvals. Engineers typically select the LTV-357T for hybrid substrates requiring compact footprints and programmable controllers needing reliable signal isolation. The series meets RoHS compliance standards and fits within standard tape-and-reel packaging specifications for automated assembly.
