Industrial electronics operate in electrically noisy and mechanically challenging environments. The problem is that automation, control, and instrumentation components rely on accurate signals sans ...

Optocouplers are electronic components which use light waves to provide electrical isolation while transferring an electrical signal. They are sometimes known as opto-isolators, photocouplers, or ...

WIXOM -- The Wixom manufacturing electronics manufacturer Acromag has released new BusWorks XT Series multi-channel optocouplers and interposing relay modules that connect discrete field devices to ...

Deep in the heart of your latest project lies a little silicon brain. Much like the brain inside your own bone-plated noggin, your microcontroller needs protection from the outside world from time to ...

What is an optoisolator (optical coupler or optocoupler)? An optoisolator (also known as an optical coupler, photocoupler, optocoupler) is a semiconductor device that transfers an electrical signal ...

Galvanic isolation is common in industrial and automotive systems as a means of protecting against high voltages or to counteract ground potential differences. Designers traditionally used ...

Phototransistor optocouplers are electronic components that facilitate the transfer of electrical signals between two isolated circuits using light. They consist of an infrared light emitter and a ...

Functional safety certification establishes the reliability threshold that industrial signal protection equipment must meet before it can be specified in safety-critical applications. TÜV Rheinland ...

“These multi-channel discrete contact sensor and relay output modules offer a safe, isolated interface between high-energy field devices and sensitive control system I/O modules,” explained Don Lupo, ...
