PS2501L-1-M-A

The PS2501L-1-M-A is an optisolator, or an optoelectronic device for electrical isolation, comprised of a light-emitting diode (LED) and a photosensitive transistor for signal transmission between two circuits. The optoisolator has two distinct parts and works by isolating one circuit from the other by converting the input and output electrical signals into light. The LED is the light source and is powered by the input signal from one circuit while the phototransistor is sensitive to the light in the LED and outputs the signal to the other circuit, thereby providing a continuous electrical path between the two circuits while preventing the current from flowing back in the opposite direction. This type of optoisolator is referred to as a transistor, photovoltaic output type and is often used in applications with high-voltage signals or dangerous electrical environments.

The PS2501L-1-M-A features an ultra-small size and is highly reliable, making it easy to use in the smallest of applications. It also offers improved optical performance, increased isolation voltage, low power consumption, high bandwidth, and low propagation delay time. Its high power handling capability allows for even higher voltage voltage/current transmission compared to other optosolators. Additionally, the PS2501L-1-M-A has a wide operating temperature range and is UL approved.

The PS2501L-1-M-A optoisolator is used in a variety of applications such as digital control systems, motor controllers, switching power supplies, voltage regulators, communication systems, and ATE systems. It is ideal for use in applications with high-voltage signals or when electrical isolation is required. Additionally, the optoisolator is suitable for use in hazardous environments due to its high isolation voltage and high power handling capability.

The PS2501L-1-M-A optoisolator’s operation is fairly simple and is based on the process of receiving an electrical signal on one side and converting it to an optical signal and then transmitting the optical signal through an optical conductor to the other side to produce the desired effect. The optoisolator encases an LED with a photosensitive transistor. The current through the LED creates an optical signal which is converted to an electrical signal by the photosensitive transistor. This process is referred to as opto-coupling and is used to provide both electrical and optical isolation between the two circuits. The high isolation voltage and low capacitance of the PS2501L-1-M-A offer enhanced performance and an increase in efficiency compared to other optoisolators.

The PS2501L-1-M-A has a wide range of applications in which it can be used, such as digital control systems, motor controllers, switching power supplies, voltage regulators, communication systems, and ATE systems. Its tiny size, high isolation voltage, high power handling capability, and low propagation delay time make it an ideal choice for use in such applications. Its reliability and UL approval make it even more attractive. The PS2501L-1-M-A optoisolator is a great choice for any application in which an electrical and optical signal conversion is necessary.
