How to test optical coupler

Testing Tool

1. Pointer device

2. DC Source

3. Multimeter

4. Soldering iron

optical coupler Type

8PIN like PC923, A7800

optical coupler 8pin Testing method

1) Supply 15V into 8 pin(VCC) 7PIN(gND) of PC923

You need to weld 2 wires into 7, 8 pin so that you can supply power for 7, 8 pin conveniently

2) Use Pointer Device to supply DC current almost 10mA for 2 and 3 pin of optical coupler

3) Use dC voltage position of multimeter to test 5, 6 pin of optical coupler and check if DC voltage has changed.
