    Can this be used to reset a Z80 cpu, by connecting the collector to ground and the emitter to the /RST pin?

    Hi. I Dndid the same like you. I testes the diode-OK. When I test the transistor part, I get around 1 volt. But when take it out from the board, I then get nothing. Is that OK? How should it be tested?

    Should 1100 come out without AC 220V power supply?

    Q) It the transistor is damaged/open, you would also get no reading on Pins 3+4, so wouldn't you also need to test that the emitter and collector connect when the diode/LED illuminates the photosensitive base? Thx.

    I'm a total electronics moron - but why others are using some more complicated methods of testing opto-isolators eg. one guy desoldered from the board and connected all 4 pins and use a resister and battery etc. Can I test an opto isolator "your way" directly on a board? (no desoldering involved). Thanks

      It gets complicated. In circuit, no soldering, you may get readings from other components in the circuit. This is a good base test to show shorts or opens on the opto. Of course a short elsewhere in the circuit will show a short on the opto.

    Nice work, please i need a detailed video on how to use digital multimeter for a beginner

    How do we know is it optocoupler or an IC by doing it visualy when it still on circuit?? Is it any sign?

    • @surgingcircuits6955
      @surgingcircuits6955 Před rokem +3

      I recommend 1st to read the marking, and internet search the number(s) you find. If you have more knowledge... Optocouplers are a non-contact way to connect 2 circuits on a PCB that may be operating at different voltages, so look at the PCB circuits and see if the device appears to be "isolating" the two circuits. The transistor side (pins 3+4) are acting like a switch for the 2nd circuit. Similar to how a "relay" works ... just using light to activate vs using mechanical means.

    1000 what? there is no 1000 there unless it is mV; is it? thanks
    because you're testing them in circuit, do those readings depend on the circuit or not? thanks
