PC3SF11YTZBH

Optoisolators are devices designed to electrically isolate one circuit or system from another. The PC3SF11YTZBH is a type of optoisolator known as a Triac, SCR Output, which uses a LED to control an optically coupled triac or SCR (silicon controlled rectifier). It can be used to switch high voltages, for example, in motor control, lighting control and power supply applications.

PC3SF11YTZBH Application Field

The PC3SF11YTZBH is versatile for many applications. It offers isolation between the controlling logic circuits and load circuits, while resisting voltage transients and surges. It can be used to control those AC or DC components from logic level signals. This optoisolator is ideal for those electronic devices that require separation between high AC or DC voltage control elements and low level logic control units to prevent excessive current/power levels through the control circuits. It\'s possible applications include motor control, relay, solenoid, lighting control, air conditioning, and low voltage power supplies.

Working Principle

The optoisolator PC3SF11YTZBH consists of a phototriac switch optically coupled to an LED. The PC3SF11YTZBH contains an LED and a photo-sensitive SCR. The logic device or other signal sources will supply a small current to drive the LED which results in inducing a current in the optically coupled SCR. The photo-sensitive SCR is used to control the load circuit connected to it. The load circuit can either be AC or DC. It\'s able to switch the SCR on and off by the control signal from input logic. When the control signal is low, the LED is not driving and the optically coupled SCR is turned off. When the control signal is high, the LED is driving and the optically coupled SCR will be turned on.

The PC3SF11YTZBH is specially designed for low voltage control applications such as motor speed control, regulated power supply, HVAC applications and lighting control. The main feature is the isolating the controlling logic sources from the AC or DC loads, while efficiently controlling the components with minimal voltage drop. Furthermore, the PC3SF11YTZBH also provides protection to both the LED and the photo-sensitive SCR.

Conclusion

The PC3SF11YTZBH is an optoisolator of the Triac, SCR Output type. It can be used to switch high voltages, due to its voltage transient and surge protection. With its isolating technology, it provides safety and efficiency when controlling AC and DC components via low level signals. Its main application fields are motor control, lighting control, HVAC applications and regulated power supplies. It works by having a logic input driving the LED, which then induces a current in the optically coupled SCR. With its high efficiency and low voltage drop gaming feature, the PC3SF11YTZBH is a great choice for control applications.
