14230236011

Overview

The Würth Elektronik part number 14230236011 is a WL-OCTR series optocoupler featuring a Triac output. It provides electrical isolation with an isolation voltage of 5000 Vrms and operates in random phase mode for AC load control. The device is housed in a 6-pin DIP package and supports a peak repetitive off-state voltage of 400V. Designed as a safe alternative to mechanical relays, it facilitates phase control applications within general electronic equipment.

Feature Summary

• Provides galvanic isolation between input and output circuits
• Enables random phase triggering for AC load management
• Offers a solid-state replacement for mechanical relay functions

Applications

• Phase control of AC loads
• General electronic equipment
• Safe alternatives to mechanical relays

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version and compliance documentation directly from Wurth Elektronik or authorized distributors before procurement. Confirm that the 5000 Vrms isolation rating and 400V peak off-state voltage meet the target circuit requirements. Ensure the DIP-6 package dimensions align with the PCB layout constraints. Cross-reference the material safety data sheets for REACH and RoHS compliance status relevant to the manufacturing region.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing circuits requiring isolated switching of AC loads without the wear mechanisms associated with electromechanical relays. The random phase capability allows for triggering at any point in the AC cycle, suitable for non-zero-crossing applications. Evaluate the thermal dissipation characteristics against the expected operating current to ensure reliability within the specified power dissipation limits.
