MOC213VM

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Overview

The MOC213VM is a dual-channel phototransistor optocoupler manufactured by Fairchild Semiconductor. It integrates two gallium arsenide infrared emitting diodes optically coupled to monolithic silicon phototransistor detectors in an SOIC-8 package. Key electrical parameters include a minimum current transfer ratio of 100% at 10 mA input, a guaranteed minimum collector-emitter breakdown voltage (BVCEO) of 70 V, and high input-output isolation of 2500 VAC(rms). The device supports a maximum forward current of 60 mA with a typical forward voltage of 1.5 V.

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Feature Summary

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Procurement Notes

Verify the suffix 'VM' confirms VDE approval status as specified in official documentation. Ensure the component matches the SOIC-8 footprint with 0.050-inch lead spacing. Confirm manufacturer origin from Fairchild or authorized successor entities like onsemi to guarantee parameter consistency and regulatory recognition validity.

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Selection Notes

Select this component when dual-channel isolation is required within a standard SOIC-8 footprint. The 70 V BVCEO rating suits moderate voltage switching applications. Verify thermal dissipation requirements against the 240 mW power dissipation limit. Ensure input current limits align with the 60 mA maximum forward current specification for reliable operation.

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Part Context

This part belongs to the MOCD213M series of small outline optocouplers. It represents a surface-mount evolution of through-hole optoisolators, designed for high-density PCB mounting. The 'VM' variant specifically denotes VDE certification alongside UL recognition, catering to European market safety requirements.

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Replacement Considerations

MOCD213R2VM serves as a direct reel-pack equivalent. MOCD213M is the base non-VDE version. Cross-reference pinouts and isolation ratings before substitution.
