MOC3041 Zero Cross Triac Driver Optocoupler

The MOC3041, MOC3042 and MOC3043 devices consist of gallium arsenide infrared emitting diodes optically coupled to a monolithic silicon detector performing the function of a Zero Voltage Crossing bilateral triac driver. They are designed for use with a triac in the interface of logic systems to equipment powered from 115 Vac lines, such as solid–state relays, industrial
controls, motors, solenoids and consumer appliances, etc.

Applications:

• Solenoid/valve controls
• Lighting controls
• Static power switches
• AC motor drives
• Temperature controls
• E.M. contactors
• AC motor starters
• Solid state relays

• Simplifies logic control of 115 VAC power
• Zero voltage crossing
• dv/dt of 2000 V/µs typical, 1000 V/µs guaranteed
• VDE recognized
