ACPL-K49T-060E

Optoisolators - Transistor, Photovoltaic Output

The ACPL-K49T-060E is an optocoupler, also known as an optoisolator, which is a component that helps to isolate electric signals from one circuit to another circuit. It is a solid state device that consists of one side that transmits light and another side which receives the light. The ACPL-K49T-060E is a type of optoisolator that has a lateral, NPN, phototransistor output.

Application Field

Optoisolators such as the ACPL-K49T-060E are widely used in variety of electronic applications, from protecting one circuit from interference of other and electrically isolated signals to providing feedback in motor drivers or controlling the power line to a lamp. They can also be used for grounding and communication protection, providing signal-level isolation, as well as providing electrical, magnetic and optical signal transmission.

Working Principle

The ACPL-K49T-060E works by converting an electrical signal into a light signal that can travel between two circuits or systems. It consists of two main parts: an LED (light emitting diode) and a phototransistor, both of which are encapsulated in a plastic package. The LED side will receive an electrical input and convert this into an optical output. This optical output will then be received by the phototransistor side, which will convert it back into an electrical signal.

The light signal is able to travel through an air gap of up to 40mm and still be received by the phototransistor. This makes optoisolators such as ACPL-K49T-060E very useful for applications with long distances between the two parts. The optoisolator also offers a high degree of electrical isolation between the two systems, allowing the electrical signal to travel without interference. The ACPL-K49T-060E also provides a high degree of durability as well as temperature and voltage stability which make it suitable for a wide range of industrial applications.

Conclusion

The ACPL-K49T-060E optoisolator is a versatile and reliable component that is highly effective in providing electrical isolation between two circuits. It is widely used in industrial and commercial applications for providing reliable signal transmission and reliable feedback. Additionally, the ACPL-K49T-060E is able to operate at extreme temperatures and provides a high degree of electrical isolation, making it a reliable choice for many industrial applications.
