The IXYS PD2401 is an optocoupler with a Triac & SCR output, a 500-volt blocking voltage, and 1.0-amp current capacity. It isolates and protects AC drive circuits from high voltage spikes, lions, and ground loops without sacrificing speed or precision. This optocoupler features a double-ended output stage for increased response and isolation efficiency as well as a modular construction for simplicity of design. It is compliant with international safety and electromagnetic compatibility standards, making it ideal for use in transportation and consumer electronics applications.
