Used pull.
The NEC PS2501-2 is a type of optocoupler, also known as a photocoupler or an optoisolator. Optocouplers are devices that use a light-emitting diode (LED) and a photodetector to transmit electrical signals between two isolated circuits.
They are often used in applications where it is important to isolate the input and output circuits from each other, such as in power control, data transmission, and measurement systems.
The PS2501-2 is a single-transistor type optocoupler with a high isolation voltage rating. It has a GaAs infrared LED on the input side and a phototransistor on the output side. The isolation voltage rating of the PS2501-2 is 5 kVrms, which means that it can withstand a high voltage differential between the input and output circuits without breaking down. This makes it suitable for use in high voltage or high noise environments.
In general, optocouplers are useful for isolating and protecting circuits from electrical noise, voltage spikes, and other types of interference. They are widely used in a variety of electronic systems, including motor drives, power supplies, and automotive systems.
