The MOC3162SM is a Triac Driver Output Optocoupler manufactured by Fairchild/ON Semiconductor. This device consists of an infrared emitting diode optically coupled to a non-zero crossing silicon bilateral switch (triac). It is designed for interfacing logic circuits to equipment powered from the AC mains. It's suitable for controlling resistive and inductive loads.

Applications:

• Solid-State Relays (SSRs)
• Industrial Controls
• Lighting Controls
• Motor Controls
• Solenoid/Valve Controls

Features:

• Triac Driver Output
• Non-Zero Crossing Detection
• High Isolation Voltage
• Surface Mount Package
• UL Recognized
• VDE Approved

Benefits:
