OVSRWAC1R6 Optoelectronics

Opto-isolators, Transistor-over-SCR, or OVSRWAC1R6 are devices used to isolate a control signal from a source, either electrical or electronic, from a load, also electrical or electronic. As opposed to other signal transducers, OVSRWAC1R6s actively control the output load by using a controlling transistor and a speed-controlled switching thyristor (SCR)

OVSRWAC1R6s are most often used in discrete LED indication for the purpose of displaying a series of lights, such as those found on parking meters, signaling systems, and home security systems. In these applications, an OVSRWAC1R6 is used to switch on or off a single discrete LED, allowing for easy visual recognition. In addition, OVSRWAC1R6s can be used in architectural and theatrical lighting to transition between different light effects.

The working principle behind the OVSRWAC1R6 is based around the transistor-over-SCR (TOS) configuration. This configuration combines both a transistor and a thyristor to form the OVSRWAC1R6. The transistor acts as the primary switch, while the SCR acts as a buffer. When the transistor is switched on, it allows current to flow to the SCR, which is then used to control the LED or other load. In this way, the LED will remain off until the transistor is actuated.

The OVSRWAC1R6 can be used for a variety of purposes, including providing an indication of a system status, indicating a failure in a system, or providing a visual concern in indoor or outdoor applications. By connecting a variety of discrete LEDs, the OVSRWAC1R6 can be used to indicate a range of conditions, providing an easily recognizable visual reference. The OVSRWAC1R6’s transistors-over-SCR configuration helps to ensure the LEDs remain in their desired operating condition, without the need for frequent maintenance or resetting.

In summary, OVSRWAC1R6s are used for discrete LED indication in a variety of applications. The working principle behind the OVSRWAC1R6 is based around the transistor-over-SCR (TOS) configuration. This combination of a transistor and SCR allows for the easy switching of single LEDs, without the need for frequent maintenance or resetting. OVSRWAC1R6s are used for a wide variety of purpose, including providing an indication of a system status, indicating a failure in a system, or providing a visual concern in indoor or outdoor applications.
