A photocoupler, also known as an optocoupler or an optoisolator, is an electronic component or device used to transfer electrical signals or data between two isolated circuits using light as the medium of communication. The primary purpose of a photocoupler is to provide electrical isolation and noise immunity between input and output circuits. This isolation helps protect sensitive components, such as microcontrollers or sensors, from voltage spikes, noise, or potential hazards in the input circuit.
