I have a similar issue as one that I found when searching for opto-isolators in the forums. I am trying to use the optocoupler to activate a relay and switch 120VAC. I am forced to work with a 1.9-2.1 VDC control voltage and figured an optocoupler would be the best way to go. Attached is a picture of the circuit I have but cannot seem to get to work properly. When the 12V adapter is plugged in it instantly energizes the coil on the relay voiding the ability to control it with the opto. Any suggestions would be much appreciated!
