Hello everybody...
I'm trying to put together a circuit to control a 24V solenoid with a 5V pulse. So the best idea someone gave me was to use a optocoupler in a way it is described in the attachment.
The thing is I don't know exactly which optocoupler to use. The optocoupler that I am using right now is this one : (http://www.vishay.com/docs/83725/4n25.pdf)
So the solenoid wont open, because there is not enough current to do it, and if I add some more current up the optocoupler seems to burn.
I don't know what to do, can someone help me out? I have to deliver something by the end of next week, and I seriously don't know what to do.
Thanks
