Circuit design SCR trigger with optocoupler
I make sure that the minimum IG/VG available at about 6° is sufficient to trigger the SCR, while at 45° (325V) I try not to exceed the MAX values. All this should work if the load is stable.

These optocouplers are designed for high-power applications. In these devices, the light from the LED triggers a photo-SCR, which then switches the output circuit on or off.
Application Examples
The interfacing of the optocoupler between digital or analogue signals needs to be designed correctly for proper protection. The following examples help in this area by using DC- and AC-input
