Optoisolators have been used for a wide variety of digital, analog, and industrial applications since their introduction over four decades ago. They are known as isolators, optically coupled isolators, optical isolators, or optical–electrical isolators. The ELM3022 are common optoisolators with triac, SCR output, often used for high voltage ac switching applications.

The ELM3022 optoisolator is a three terminal device consisting of a GaAs infrared LED optically coupled to a silicon bilateral triac switch. The device will switch .25 Amperes AC current at 250Volt AC/DC. ELM3022 optoisolators have a peak blocking voltage of 600Vrms and repetition rate of 400Hz. An advantage of this device is that the LED which supplies the optical output can be driven with either DC or AC current. The LED also has wide angle viewing, making it suitable for use in visible light applications. ELM3022 has an internal current limiting resistor that provides current protection for the LED and an external photo transistor terminal which can be used to monitor the status of the LED. The ELM3022 also has a floating lead which is connected to the SCR side of the device and can be used to provide isolated control of the SCR.

Optoisolators such as the ELM3022 are used in various switching applications including light dimmer switches, temperature controllers, motion motor control, and fail safe switches. Since optoisolators provide electrical isolation, they are ideal for applications that require protection from high voltage transients. Additionally, they are often chosen for digital control applications due to their low current requirements, low-cost, and small size. Furthermore, optoisolators can be used to provide isolated signal transmission over long distances.

The optoisolator\'s working principle is based on an LED and an optoisolator\'s photosensitive element. The LED is the emitter of the optoisolator and is designed for low-power operation and high efficiency. It emits infrared light when a current is applied to its two terminals. The light then passes through a transparent medium to reach the sensitive element, which in the case of the ELM3022, is a bilateral triac. The triac has two main electronics components: a gate and a drain. When the LED emits light, it produces an electrical current, and the light energy is absorbed by the sensitive element in the optoisolator. This creates a voltage drop at the gate and a controlling current is supplied to the gate. This causes the triac to be turned on and off which can be used to control an electrical load.

Overall, the ELM3022 optoisolator is an excellent choice for ac and digital control applications. Its combination of simple construction, small size, electrical insulation, and cost effectiveness make it a very versatile and useful component. Additionally, its robust design and wide operating parameters make it suitable for many different applications.
