EL3022-V

Overview

The EL3022-V is a random-phase Triac driver photocoupler manufactured by Everlight Electronics. It integrates an AlGaAs infrared emitting diode with a monolithic silicon photo Triac in a 6-pin DIP package. Key electrical parameters include a peak off-state voltage of 400 V, an isolation voltage of 5000 Vrms, and a maximum DC forward current of 60 mA. The device operates within a temperature range of -55°C to +100°C, featuring a typical forward voltage of 1.18 V and a hold current of 250 µA.

Feature Summary

• Optically couples an AlGaAs infrared LED to a silicon photo Triac for signal isolation
• Provides high insulation voltage between input and output circuits
• Designed for interfacing electronic controls with power Triacs in AC operations

Applications

• Solenoid and valve controls
• Static AC power switches
• Incandescent lamp dimmers
• Motor controls

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official Everlight documentation to confirm pinout and packaging configuration. Ensure the selected variant matches the required isolation voltage and thermal characteristics for the target application environment. Cross-reference datasheet revisions to confirm compliance with current safety standards.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring galvanic isolation between low-voltage control logic and high-voltage AC loads. Consider the random-phase triggering characteristic when designing circuits where zero-crossing functionality is not required. Evaluate thermal management requirements based on the specified power dissipation limits.
