14230124500

Overview

The Würth Elektronik 14230124500 is a Triac and SCR output optocoupler from the WL-OCTR series. It features a PhotoTriac output with random phase triggering, designed as a safe alternative to mechanical relays for AC load phase control. Key electrical parameters include an isolation voltage of 3750 Vrms, a maximum repetitive peak off-state voltage (VDRM) of 250 V, and a forward current (If) of 60 mA. The device operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +100°C and is housed in a SOP-4 surface-mount package.

Feature Summary

• Provides galvanic isolation between input control circuits and high-voltage AC loads
• Features random phase triggering for precise AC power control applications
• Designed as a solid-state replacement for mechanical relays

Applications

• AC load phase control circuits
• Solid-state relay replacements
• General purpose AC switching applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version for the 14230124500 part number to confirm the exact VDRM rating, as source data indicates variations between 250 V and 400 V for similar WL-OCTR devices. Ensure compatibility with SOP-4 footprint requirements and confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation before integration into final designs.

Selection Notes

Select this component when random phase triac output is required rather than zero-crossing detection. The 3750 Vrms isolation rating supports safety-related applications. Consider the 250 V or 400 V VDRM limit based on the specific AC line voltage being controlled. The SOP-4 package suits space-constrained PCB layouts requiring surface-mount technology.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Würth Elektronik WL-OCTR series, which specializes in Triac and SCR output optocouplers. These devices are engineered to provide reliable isolation and switching capabilities for AC power management systems, offering durability and longevity compared to electromechanical alternatives.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct substitutes within the WL-OCTR series that match the required VDRM voltage level. Verify pinout compatibility with existing SOP-4 footprints. Ensure thermal performance characteristics align with the application's heat dissipation requirements.
