Input characteristics

The 12 Volt relay module has a jumper to select between active high or active low.

With the jumper on active high (H), the relay can be driven by an ESP32 CPU that runs on a voltage of only 3.3V. Measurements reveal that (when increasing the input voltage) the relay attracts (click) at 2.4V, and then falls back off (clack) at 1.7V. These values suit a 3.3V micro-controller well.

The optocoupler

The printing on the optocoupler hints to a TLP280 type.
