MOC217VM

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Overview

The MOC217VM is a single-channel transistor output optocoupler manufactured by onsemi. It features an NPN phototransistor with a base terminal for enhanced switching control, housed in an 8-pin SOIC surface-mount package. Key electrical parameters include a maximum collector-emitter voltage of 30 V and a peak forward current of 60 mA. The device provides 2500 Vrms isolation voltage between input and output circuits. Typical rise and fall times are 3.2 μs and 4.7 μs, respectively. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +100°C.

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Feature Summary

• Integrated base terminal on the NPN phototransistor output for improved switching speed and linearity
• High isolation capability with 2500 Vrms dielectric strength between input and output channels
• Surface-mount construction in an 8-pin narrow SOIC package for compact PCB integration

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Applications

• General-purpose signal isolation in industrial control systems
• Interface circuits for microcontrollers and logic families
• Power supply feedback loops requiring galvanic isolation

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official datasheets to confirm pinout and packaging variations. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives if required by the target application. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with authorized distributor catalogs to validate authenticity and traceability before procurement.

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Selection Notes

Select this component when a single channel with base-driven output is required for faster switching than standard phototransistors. Consider the 30 V collector voltage limit and 150 mA maximum collector current constraints. Evaluate thermal dissipation requirements given the 240 mW power dissipation rating in the SOIC-8 package.

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Part Context

This device belongs to the MOC217 family of transistor output optocouplers. It shares functional similarities with other members like the MOC217R2VM but differs in channel count and packaging configuration. The series is designed for general-purpose isolation applications where moderate speed and high reliability are prioritized over high-speed digital communication.

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include MOC217M and MOC217R2VM. Verify pin compatibility and electrical ratings before substitution. Alternative manufacturers may offer functionally equivalent parts, but mechanical dimensions and isolation voltages must be validated.
