Isolators are devices designed to separate or insulate components or systems. They play critical roles across various industries, including electrical and electronics, construction, and pharmaceuticals, by isolating analog signals, insulating buildings from earthquakes, and protecting against external contaminants.
The application of isolators varies significantly by industry:
Used for surge voltage protection and signal separation, isolators in electronics ensure the integrity of signal-receiving equipment.
In construction, isolators serve as earthquake-resistant supports under buildings, utilizing high-elasticity materials like rubber to dissipate vibrations.
Pharmaceutical isolators provide sterile environments for drug development and patient care, employing negative pressure systems and gas sterilization to prevent contamination.
The operational mechanisms of isolators vary across different fields:
Electrical signal isolation involves amplifying and converting input signals for output, serving also as signal converters.
Vibration-dissipating structures in construction use materials like seismic isolation rubber to reduce building movement during earthquakes.
Isolators in pharmaceuticals maintain sterile conditions through negative pressure and gas sterilization, similar to draft chambers.
Isolators are categorized into optical and digital types:
Using LEDs and light-receiving elements, optical isolators transmit signals via light, offering simple, reliable, and cost-effective solutions.
Digital isolators isolate using capacitors or coils to transmit digital signals, known for their long life and high performance but limited to digital applications.
Selection depends on application requirements:
Chosen for their distance transmission capability, optical isolators suffer from efficiency drops at temperature variations.
Preferred for applications requiring high performance and longevity, digital isolators are evolving, with costs and variety being considerations. They are used in applications that are difficult to handle with photocouplers.
