MOC8101

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Overview

The MOC8101 is a single-channel optically coupled isolator manufactured by Isocom Components. It integrates an infrared emitting diode with an NPN silicon phototransistor in a standard 6-pin dual in-line plastic package (DIP). The device provides high isolation voltage of 5300Vrms and operates within a temperature range of -55°C to 100°C. Key electrical parameters include a maximum forward current of 60mA, typical rise and fall times of 2μs, and a collector-emitter breakdown voltage of 70V.
