Questions

Is there a KiCad symbol and footprint for the EL817?

Yes. The symbol is Isolator:EL817 and the footprint Package_DIP:DIP-4_W7.62mm, both drawn on this page. PCBKit places them on a board for you when you design with it.

What package is the EL817?

DIP-4, with 4 pins. Its footprint is drawn on this page.

Where is the EL817 datasheet?

Everlight Electronics publishes it: the Datasheet link on this page opens it.

Where can I order the EL817?

JLCPCB lists it as part C17588427, with 0 in stock; the sellers' links on this page open their listings.

What can replace the EL817?

Parts like it in the library: the PC817C by GOODWORK, the EL817S1(C)(TU)-F by Everlight Electronics, the PC817C-S by UMW and the EL817(B)-F by Everlight Electronics. Check their datasheets: a part that fits the footprint may still differ in its ratings.

Which open-source boards use the EL817?

82 boards in 62 repositories on GitHub; the most starred are listed on this page, with their KiCad files.
