The MOC3162 is an optocoupler manufactured by Motorola (MOTO). Below are the factual specifications, descriptions, and features of the MOC3162:

Manufacturer: Motorola (MOTO)

Part Number: MOC3162

Description:

The MOC3162 is a zero-crossing triac driver optocoupler designed for interfacing between low-voltage control circuits and high-voltage AC loads. It provides electrical isolation and is commonly used in AC switching applications.

Key Features:

• Zero-Crossing Detection: Ensures switching occurs when the AC voltage crosses zero, reducing EMI and inrush current.
• High Isolation Voltage: Provides up to 7500V peak isolation between input and output.
• Triac Driver Output: Contains a built-in triac driver for direct interfacing with external power triacs.
• Input LED: Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) infrared LED for input triggering.
• Output Type: Phototriac with a blocking voltage of 600V.
• Trigger Current (IF): 15mA (max) for reliable switching.
• Package Type: 6-pin DIP (Dual In-line Package).

Applications:

• AC power control
• Solid-state relays
• Motor speed control
• Lighting control
• Industrial automation

Electrical Specifications:

• Input Forward Current (IF): 15mA (max)
• Output Voltage (VDRM): 600V
• Isolation Voltage (VISO): 7500V peak
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to +100°C
