Productos<\/h2>\n

The PS2501-1 from Renesas Electronics (formerly NEC) is a 1-channel photocoupler (optocoupler) consisting of a gallium arsenide infrared LED optically coupled to a silicon phototransistor. It provides electrical isolation of up to 5000Vrms between input and output, making it ideal for signal isolation in SMPS feedback loops, industrial control, and communication interfaces. Packaged in a DIP-4 through-hole package.<\/p>\n

With 80-160% CTR at 5 mA LED current, it is widely used for SMPS feedback loop isolation (typically paired with TL431), industrial control I\/O isolation, and communication interface signal isolation. The DIP-4 package is pin-compatible with industry-standard optocouplers.","working_principle":"The PS2501-1 consists of a gallium arsenide infrared LED on the input side and a silicon NPN phototransistor on the output side, separated by an optically transparent insulating medium. When current flows through the LED, it emits infrared light that passes through the isolation barrier and illuminates the phototransistor base region. The photogenerated current in the base drives the phototransistor, producing a collector current proportional to the LED current. The CTR (Current Transfer Ratio) of 80-160% means the output current can be equal to or greater than the input LED current. The 5000 Vrms isolation rating ensures safe separation between high-voltage and low-voltage circuit domains.","pin_description":"\n
