Key electrical parameters include a collector-emitter voltage of 70 V, a maximum forward current of 60 mA, and a forward voltage of 1.5 V. The device offers a high insulation voltage of 4170 Vrms and a power dissipation rating of 270 mW. Current transfer ratio ranges from 50% to 150%, with rise and fall times of 4 µs and 20 µs respectively. Operating temperature spans from -40°C to +100°C.

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Feature Summary

• Provides galvanic isolation via infrared LED and NPN phototransistor architecture
• Supports high voltage isolation up to 4170 Vrms for safety compliance
• Designed for through-hole mounting in standard DIP-6 packages

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Applications

• General-purpose signal isolation in industrial control systems
• Interface circuits between microcontrollers and high-voltage loads
• Power supply feedback loops requiring electrical separation

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer marking matches onsemi or authorized Fairchild Semiconductor branding, as legacy parts may carry different logos. Confirm the package type is PDIP-6 and the pinout corresponds to the official datasheet. Check RoHS compliance status if required for specific regulatory environments. Ensure the component is sourced from authorized distributors to avoid counterfeit products that may exhibit degraded insulation or electrical performance.

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-channel isolation barrier is required with moderate speed capabilities. The 70 V collector-emitter voltage suits low-to-medium voltage switching applications. Consider the 50-150% CTR range for design margin in current-driven loads. The PDIP-6 package is suitable for prototyping and low-volume production where surface mount space is not constrained. Evaluate thermal dissipation requirements against the 270 mW limit in enclosed enclosures.

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Part Context

The MOC8106M belongs to the MOC8106 series of transistor output optocouplers. This series is widely used in general-purpose isolation applications. The part is often associated with the Fairchild Semiconductor lineage before the company's rebranding to onsemi. It serves as a cost-effective solution for basic digital signal isolation tasks.

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Replacement Considerations

Check for direct replacements within the MOC8106 family. Verify pin compatibility and electrical specifications such as CTR and isolation voltage when substituting with other manufacturers' equivalents.
