EL3063

Triac, SCR Output Optoisolators Overview

The EL3063 is a zero-crossing Triac driver photocoupler manufactured by Everlight Electronics. It features a single channel with 5000 Vrms isolation voltage and operates within a temperature range of -55°C to 100°C. The device utilizes a 6-DIP package for through-hole mounting. Key electrical parameters include a maximum forward current of 60 mA, a typical hold current of 280 µA, and a maximum LED trigger current of 5 mA. It supports a peak off-state voltage of 600 V and maintains a static dv/dt rating of at least 1 kV/µs.

Triac, SCR Output Optoisolators Feature Summary

• Integrates a zero-crossing detection circuit to minimize electromagnetic interference during switching events.
• Provides high-voltage isolation capability between input and output circuits for safety compliance.
• Designed specifically for driving Triac loads in AC power control applications.

Triac, SCR Output Optoisolators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm the package type, as variations exist between DIP and SMD configurations. Ensure that the selected variant matches the required mounting method for the target PCB design. Confirm regulatory certifications such as UL or VDE are present if required for end-product compliance. Check lead times and minimum order quantities directly with authorized distributors.

Triac, SCR Output Optoisolators Selection Notes

Select this component when zero-crossing switching is required to reduce noise in AC line applications. Consider the 600 V blocking voltage and 100 mA RMS output current limits against the load requirements. Evaluate the 5000 Vrms isolation rating for safety standards compliance. Compare alternative packages if surface-mount technology is preferred over through-hole DIP.
