This 2-channel PC817 optocoupler isolation module allows a microcontroller such as Arduino, ESP32, Raspberry Pi, or other 3.3V-5V logic systems to safely interface with higher voltage circuits using optical isolation. Each channel uses a dedicated PC817 optocoupler to electrically separate the control circuit from the output side, helping protect your microcontroller from voltage spikes, electrical noise, and back EMF generated by inductive loads such as motors and relays.

Typical Applications

Ideal for isolating two independent MCU outputs when driving relays or motors, level shifting between low-voltage logic and higher voltage PLC inputs, isolated signal detection, and current amplification where MCU output current is too low to drive a downstream circuit directly.
