MOC3061XG

Triac, SCR Output Optoisolators Overview

The MOC3061XG is a zero-crossing triac output optocoupler from Isocom Components. It integrates a gallium arsenide infrared emitting diode with a monolithic silicon detector. The device features a 6-pin DIP package and provides electrical isolation of 5000Vrms. It is designed for AC power switching applications, ensuring low electromagnetic interference by triggering the triac only when the AC line voltage is near zero.
