MOC8106X

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Overview

The MOC8106X is a single-channel transistor output optocoupler manufactured by Isocom Components. It integrates an infrared LED with an NPN silicon phototransistor in a 6-pin DIP package. Key electrical parameters include a maximum forward voltage of 1.5 V, a collector-emitter breakdown voltage of 70 V minimum, and a nominal current transfer ratio of 50%. The device offers high isolation capability with a rated isolation voltage of 5300 Vrms. Operating temperatures range from -55°C to 100°C.

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix (e.g., X, G, SM) against the manufacturer's datasheet to confirm package type and compliance status. Ensure the required isolation voltage rating matches the application safety standards. Confirm lead spread options if mechanical constraints require non-standard pin spacing. Check RoHS and REACH compliance documentation for regulatory adherence in target markets.

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Selection Notes

Select this component when high noise immunity is critical due to the unconnected base terminal. The 70V collector-emitter breakdown voltage suits applications requiring moderate output voltage handling. Verify that the 50% typical CTR meets the drive requirements of the receiving logic or circuit. Consider the 6-pin DIP form factor for through-hole mounting compatibility in legacy or robust industrial designs.

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Part Context

The MOC8106X belongs to the MOC810x series of optically coupled isolators. This family typically includes variants like MOC8107 and MOC8108, which share similar structural characteristics but may differ in current transfer ratio groups. These devices are designed as general-purpose isolators for digital signal transmission and interface applications.

Transistor, Photovoltaic Output Optoisolators Replacement Considerations

Equivalent parts include the MOC8106G and MOC8106SM from Isocom Components. Cross-manufacturer alternatives such as the Fairchild CNY17 series offer similar functionality but require verification of pinout compatibility and specific electrical parameter overlaps.
