Questions

Is there a KiCad symbol and footprint for the MCT6?

Yes. The symbol is EasyEDA_Cloud:MCT6 and the footprint Package_DIP:DIP-8_W8.89mm_SMDSocket_LongPads, both drawn on this page. PCBKit places them on a board for you when you design with it.

What package is the MCT6?

DIP-8, with 8 pins. Its footprint is drawn on this page.

Where is the MCT6 datasheet?

onsemi publishes it: the Datasheet link on this page opens it.

Where can I order the MCT6?

JLCPCB lists it as part C258260, with 0 in stock; the sellers' links on this page open their listings.

What can replace the MCT6?

Parts like it in the library: the ACPL-827-00CE by Broadcom Limited, the ACPL-T350-000E by Broadcom Limited, the HCPL-2731-000E by Broadcom Limited and the ILD615-3 by Vishay Intertechnology. Check their datasheets: a part that fits the footprint may still differ in its ratings.

Which open-source boards use the MCT6?

6 boards in 6 repositories on GitHub; the most starred are listed on this page, with their KiCad files.
