hai alll

Here I want asking few question, could phototransistor work with AC source at collector and emitter terminal??? If possible what max voltage I could put over there, because i tried to find max voltage that phototransistor could support from a datasheet but not included.

Thanks........:D

Ahh, wait a minute....

Are you trying to say you want to use a phototransistor with mains AC power?

What exactly are you trying to do?

Ive got to start thinking early in the morning before I start responding..

I was thinking in terms of low voltage a.c. I couldnt imagine them wanting to put 120vAC or 240vAC through a phototransistor. But I should have asked first.

Are you wanting to try to use a phototransistor as a photo driven relay?

hummm...

thanks info me.......
do you know the suitable distance to separate LDR and LED to make them have good or maybe very good response....

thanks reading :)

hummm actualy not.....

im trying to control thyristor gate using digital method....... so i need analog optocoupler to control the firing angle. actually, thyristor gate depend on what???? current or voltage?????
