I want to order from this site:
http://nl.rs-online.com/web/c/?searchTerm=OPTO+ISOLATOR&sort-by=P_breakPrice1&sort-order=asc&view-type=List&sort-option=Prijs

but there are like 232 search result...

I want to use it for this:

(flash triggers by a 5v signal).

What specs do i need?
(i need one with a total of 4 pins)

also if someone can find a powerswitch tail on http://nl.rs-online.com then that would be great, they have 500.000 product and i can't find shit.
