Optoisolators are devices used to provide electrical isolation between a circuit or an input and an output. They are used to protect sensitive components from malfunctioning, to reduce electromagnetic interference, and to prevent damage to equipment. The most common type of optoisolator is a Photovoltaic Output Transistor, or MCT2EVM.

MCT2EVM is an integrated circuit containing a phototransistor and an LED in the same package. It operates on the principle of optoelectronics wherein an LED is illuminated by electric current, and the phototransistor responds to light by producing its own electric current. The two circuits are electrically isolated from each other, providing the electrical isolation that optoisolator devices are meant to provide.

MCT2EVM applications include the control of various electrical circuits. It can be used to control a solenoid, motor, or actuator; switch a relay, or actuate a bell; trigger an alarm, or activate a circuit breaker; and provide protection from overcurrent and short circuits. The device is highly reliable, offering high isolation and low operating current. It is also low cost, making it an ideal choice for applications where cost is a major factor.

MCT2EVM’s working principle involves two different levels of circuitry. The first is the LED side, which is made up of an LED and a resistor. When an external voltage is applied, electric current passes through the LED, producing light. This light is then detected by the phototransistor which is on the other side, setting off its own electric current. This current is used to switch on and off the electrical circuit. The optoisolator thus provides excellent electrical isolation between the two circuits.

MCT2EVM photovoltaic output transistors are low cost, highly reliable, and provide excellent electrical isolation. These features make them ideal for a variety of applications such as controlling mechanical devices, switching relays and circuit breakers, and providing protection from overcurrent and short circuits. They are also useful for reducing electromagnetic interference and protecting sensitive components from malfunctioning, making them preferred components when designing electrical circuits.
