Summary:An optoelectronic device for transmission of an electrical signal of an input electrical current circuit to an output electrical current circuit galvanically isolated from the input electrical current circuit. The device includes a housing. The input electrical current circuit contains, for producing an optical signal, an optical transmitting unit, which is arranged in the housing. The output electrical current circuit contains, for receiving the optical signal, an optical receiving unit, which is arranged in the housing. At least one fuse mechanism is provided in the housing, which interrupts transmission of the electrical signal in the case of an electrical current flow, which lies above a predetermined electrical current level.
