ISOCOM MOC3020X 6-Pin DIP Optocoupler, 5.3kV, Non Zero Crossing

The ISOCOM MOC3020X is a high-performance optically coupled isolator designed for robust and safe signal isolation in electronic circuits. It features a gallium arsenide infrared emitting diode optically coupled to a light-activated silicon bilateral switch, which performs the function of a TRIAC. This integrated design makes it an ideal, reliable driver for power TRIACs and other switching applications, providing essential electrical isolation between low-voltage control circuits and high-voltage mains.

All critical electrical parameters of the MOC3020X are 100% tested, ensuring consistent performance and reliability. Key specifications include a forward current of 50mA, a reverse voltage of 6V, and a total power dissipation of 330mW. With an input trigger current of just 30mA, it offers efficient control for a wide range of applications. Its 5.3kV isolation voltage provides a high safety margin, protecting sensitive control circuitry from high-voltage transients.

Key Features and Applications
