PC817 2-Channel 3.6V-30V Optocoupler Isolation Board Voltage Converter Module

Product Highlights

• Voltage Isolation: Provides complete electrical isolation between input and output circuits, protecting your microcontrollers (like Arduino, ESP32, Raspberry Pi) from potentially damaging voltage spikes or ground loops.
• Wide Voltage Range: Operates with input voltages from 3.6V to 24V and output voltages from 3.6V to 30V, making it compatible with a variety of sensors, actuators, and power supplies.
• Dual Channel: Features two independent channels, allowing you to isolate and convert two separate signals simultaneously. Use different voltages on each channel!
• Onboard LED Indicators: Each channel has an LED indicator that illuminates when the input signal is active, providing visual feedback for easy troubleshooting.
• Selectable Ground Connection: Each channel includes a jumper that allows you to connect or disconnect the input and output grounds, providing flexibility for different isolation requirements. Remove the jumper for full isolation.

Applications

• Interfacing 24V industrial sensors with 5V or 3.3V microcontrollers.
• Isolating noisy signals in sensitive circuits.
• Protecting microcontroller inputs from high-voltage sources.
• General-purpose voltage level conversion.
