Optoisolators, sometimes called optocouplers or photocouplers, are electronic components that utilize light emitted from a LED to optical isolate otherwise electrically connected components. In this regard, they create an electrically isolated environment between the controlled and controlling elements. One of the most popular optoisolators is the TIL 117, also known as the 4N35 optoisolator. The TIL 117 optoisolator consists of an infrared LED input stage and a phototransistor output stage with both electrically insulated from each other.

The primary application field of the TIL 117 optoisolator is in the area of industrial Instrumentation and systems control. The TIL 117 provides isolation between PLCs (programmable logic controllers) and other controlling modules while providing electrical isolation to protect against potential surges and other noises. The TIL 117 can also be used in household appliances, such as mini TVs, to provide electrical isolation between the remote controller and the appliance. Furthermore, the TIL 117 is routinely used in HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) systems for motor speed control, switching between heating and cooling modes, and fan control.

The working principle of the TIL 117 optoisolator is fairly straightforward. When a voltage is applied to the anode of the LED, an electric current flows through the LED, emitting light. This light is then transmitted to the photoconductor region of the phototransistor. The phototransistor is then able to convert this light energy into an electric current, which is then supplied to the external load circuits, such as the PLC. The result of this is that only the DC component of the signal is transferred, and the AC component is blocked via the optoisolator.

In summary, the TIL 117 optoisolator is a type of electronic component that enables electrical isolation without having to use transformers or other physically-separated components. The primary application field of the TIL 117 optoisolator is in industrial instrumentation and systems control, where it can be used to provide electrical isolation between controllers and other modules. The working principle of the TIL 117 optoisolator is based on the conversion of light energy into an electric current, which then supplies an external load circuit.
