The PC817 DIP-4 Transistor Output Optocoupler is a compact, single-channel photocoupler designed to provide reliable signal isolation between circuits. It consists of a gallium arsenide infrared emitting diode (IRED) optically coupled to a silicon phototransistor, all enclosed in a 4-pin dual in-line (DIP) plastic package.
This optocoupler is widely used in programmable controllers, fax machines, switching power supplies, and other digital systems where electrical isolation is crucial. The PC817 ensures safe and efficient transmission of digital or low-speed analog signals while protecting sensitive components from high voltages and transients.
