This component is an 817B Optocoupler (also known as an Optoisolator) in a 4-pin package (common equivalents include PC817B, EL817B, or LTV-817B).

Marking Breakdown

  • 817B: Core part family (817 series) with a Rank B Current Transfer Ratio (CTR), which typically ranges from 130% to 260%.

  • L2045: Manufacturer batch / date code.

  • Small Dimple/Dot: Indicates Pin 1.

Pinout Configuration

Pin Name Description
Pin 1 (Dot mark) Anode (+) Input Infrared LED Positive terminal
Pin 2 Cathode (-) Input Infrared LED Negative terminal
Pin 3 Emitter Output Phototransistor Emitter
Pin 4 Collector Output Phototransistor Collector

Function & Typical Applications

An optocoupler transmits electrical signals using light rather than a direct wire, providing galvanic isolation between two parts of a circuit.

  • High-Voltage Protection: Protects sensitive microcontrollers (like Arduino, Raspberry Pi, or ESP32) from high voltages or voltage spikes on the load side.

  • Power Supplies: Commonly used in the feedback loop of Switched-Mode Power Supplies (SMPS) to regulate voltage safely.

  • Noise Reduction: Eliminates ground loops and isolates electrical noise in industrial control systems and relay driver circuits.
