Phoenix Contact 2954235 Optocoupler EMG 17-OV- 24DC/240AC/3

The optocoupler, also known as opto-isolator, photocoupler or photoelectrical coupler, with the type number EMG 17-OV- 24DC/240AC/3 from Phoenix Contact is an electrical component for potential isolation and signal transmission in electrical circuits. It has the dimensions 15 x 10 x 10 cm and weighs 0.1 kg. Another part number for this product is 2954235. Optocouplers enable the transmission of electrical signals between two galvanically separated circuits by means of light, thereby ensuring safe isolation with simultaneous information exchange. This protects sensitive components from overvoltages, interference, and common-mode noise. Typical applications include the control of power electronics and motors in automation technology, as well as signal decoupling in measurement systems and communication interfaces.
