Looking at some optocouplers: https://www.lcsc.com/products/Optocouplers-Phototransistor-Output_351.html Specifically wanting a common SMD format which can be populated by multiple sources if necessary. So, SOP-4 looks reasonable and there's the list of 21 SOP-4 optocouplers. But half of them seem to be 2.54mm pitch and the other half 1.27mm pitch. They can't both be SOP-4, so which is really SOP-4? And what should the other lot be called? |

The first one is SOP-4 100mil, the 2nd one is just SOP-4. Is it really that hard to google "Optocoupler packages" ? ;) https://www.vishay.com/docs/49633/sg2098.pdf |

Better to always check and not assume anything, IMO. SOIC has various widths, I would not assume if they said "SOIC" only that it meant wide or narrow. Even Vishay themselves just write "SOP4" in the datasheet title. |
