The PC817 2-Channel Opto-Isolator Breakout is a module designed for voltage level conversion and electrical isolation in electronic circuits. Here are its key features and specifications:
- Description:
- This module enables the use of a low-level signal to control a higher-level voltage, for example, using a 3V or 5V signal to control a 9V or 12V voltage. It employs the PC817 optoisolator,
which is known for its optical isolation capabilities.
- Channels:
- The module offers two independent channels, allowing you to work with two separate input-output pairs simultaneously.
- Voltage Range:
- Input Voltage Range: 3.6V to 24V
- Output Voltage Range: 3.6V to 30V
- This means it can handle signals and voltages within these specified ranges.
- Jumper Switch:
- The module incorporates a jumper switch that allows you to toggle the output between high and low states. This provides flexibility in configuring the output.
- Applications:
- Particularly useful in circuits where there is a need for electrical isolation, especially in environments with a lot of electrical noise. This helps in preventing interference or damage to sensitive components.
- Usage:
- It can be employed in scenarios where a microcontroller or low-power device needs to control higher-voltage components without direct electrical connection.
- Compatibility:
- Suitable for use with Arduino or other microcontroller platforms.
- Independent Channels:
- The two channels operate independently, meaning they can be utilized with different voltage levels simultaneously.
This module proves to be valuable in scenarios where there's a requirement for isolating low and high voltage circuits while still allowing them to communicate effectively.
It's commonly employed in environments where noise or interference can disrupt signal integrity.
