4N38 does not require UL approval; 4N38A does. Otherwise both parts are identical. Both parts
built by Motorola have UL approval.
Isolation surge voltage is an internal device dielectric breakdown rating.
For this test, Pins 1 and 2 are common, and Pins 4, 5 and 6 are common.
Refer to Quality and Reliability Section in Opto Data Book for information on test conditions.
Preferred devices are Motorola recommended choices for future use and best overall value.
