What is the working principle of optocoupler?
The basic working principle of Optocoupler is the output of the electrically isolated circuit is controlled by varying the input of the circuit. Input is given to the Infra red LED by a voltage source, the intensity of the voltage source is adjusted by varying the input voltage.
What is MCT2E?
MCT2E is a phototransistor Optocoupler, as the name “phototransistor” suggests it has a transistor which is controlled based on light (photon). So this IC basically has an IR (infrared) LED and a photo-transistor inside it.
How does opto-isolator work?
An opto-isolator connects input and output sides with a beam of light modulated by input current. It transforms useful input signal into light, sends it across the dielectric channel, captures light on the output side and transforms it back into electric signal.
What are the 4 types of optocoupler?
Optocouplers are available in four general types, each one having an infra-red LED source but with different photo-sensitive devices. The four optocouplers are called the: Photo-transistor, Photo-darlington, Photo-SCR and Photo-triac as shown below.
What are the advantages of optocoupler?
The main advantages of optocoupler are: one-way transmission of signal, complete electrical isolation between input and output, no influence of output signal on the input, strong anti-interference ability, stable operation, no contact, long service life and high transmission efficiency.

What is MOC3021?
The MOC3021 is a Zero-Crossing TRIAC driven Optocoupler or Optoisolator. As we know, the term Optocoupler/Optoisolator means the same thing that we use light to indirectly couple circuit sets. The speciality of MOC3021 is that it has a Zero-Crossing ability and is driven by a Triac.
What is the difference between optocoupler and opto isolator?
Today we find that both the terms optocoupler and optoisolator are used interchangeably to refer to the same function. The distinguishing feature between these two terms is the amount of voltage being isolated.
What are the advantages of using opto isolators?
Advantages of optoisolators include:
- Providing electrical and physical isolation of two sections of a circuit and hence the safety.
- Minimizing noise susceptibility and EMI and reducing interference such as from electrical interference.
- Relatively small and inexpensive.
- Ability to limit voltage across multiple circuits.
Is optocoupler a relay?
So what is an Optocoupler Relay? A relay operating on the principle of opto-isolation, i.e. there is no direct or hardwire connection between the controller and the relay. And because there is no hardwire, the controller will remain protected against the high voltages that might harm the controller.
What is the disadvantages of optocoupler?
Following are the drawbacks of optocoupler: Optocoupler needs external biasing voltage for its operation. The High-frequency response is poor. Optocoupler is not capable to handle high current.
