MOC8101

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Overview

The MOC8101 is a single-channel optoisolator featuring a gallium arsenide infrared emitting diode optically coupled to a phototransistor output with no base connection. It provides electrical isolation between circuits in industrial control systems and power supplies. The device offers an isolation voltage of 5300Vrms, a maximum forward voltage of 1.5V, and a typical rise/fall time of 2μs. It supports a maximum input current of 60mA and operates within a temperature range of -55°C to 100°C.
