Optocouplers

Optocouplers
Optocouplers use LEDs and phototransistors to close circuits. This ensures optical isolation of integrated circuit components, making optocouplers good choices for reducing noise. Single, dual, and linear optocouplers made by Littelfuse can be paired with shunt resistors to adjust the current required to activate the devices. We also offer solid state relay–optocoupler modules that include bridge rectifiers, Darlington transistors, and Zenner diodes. Find your solution in our Integrated Circuits Selection Guide.
  • Input-to-out isolation of 3750 Vrms
