MOC3021: 6-Pin DIP 400V Random Phase Triac Driver Output Optocoupler

PRICE— 15
QUANTITY REMAINING—10

The MOC301XM and MOC302XM series are optically isolated triac driver devices. These devices contain a GaAs infrared emitting diode and a light activated silicon bilateral switch, which functions like a triac. They are designed for interfacing between electronic controls and power triacs to control resistive and inductive loads for 115 VAC operations.

Features

  • Excellent IFT Stability – IR Emitting Diode Has Low Degradation• 
  • Peak Blocking Voltage -400 V

MOC3083: 6-Pin DIP 800V Zero Crossing Triac Driver Output Optocoupler

PRICE— 25
QUANTITY REMAINING—20

The MOC3081M, MOC3082M and MOC3083M devices consist of a GaAs infrared emitting diode optically coupled to a monolithic silicon detector performing the function of a zero voltage crossing bilateral triac driver.

FOD4118: 6-Pin DIP 800V Zero Crossing Triac Driver Output Optocoupler

PRICE— 70
QUANTITY REMAINING—4

The FOD4118 device consist of an infrared emitting diode coupled to a hybrid triac formed with two inverse parallel SCRs which form the triac function capable of driving discrete triacs. The FOD4118 utilize a high efficiency infrared emitting diode which offers an improved trigger sensitivity. These devices are housed in a standard 6-pin dual in-line (DIP) package.

Features

  •  300mA on-state current
  • Zero-voltage crossing
  • High blocking voltage -800V
