and this was an opto device, but a sensor only. Being a through hole device probably puts it at '96 or older, since surface mount has taken over, so at 12 years this may be a junk/surplus part and not even on any major site.

I now believe that QTC is Quaestus Corporation, an optocoupler supplier which was acquired by Fairchild and then sold to Everlight.

In 2006 Everlight Electronic Co (Ltd) Taiwan acquired the opto business from Fairchild.
