PC817 optical isolator photocoupler
The PC817 is an optocoupler or photocoupler that integrates an infrared LED and a phototransistor within a single package. It provides electrical isolation between input and output, making it ideal for isolating high-voltage circuits from low-voltage control systems. The PC817 is commonly used in power supply circuits, microcontroller interfaces, and signal isolation applications.
