The MOC306X-M and MOC316X-M devices consist of a GaAs infrared emitting diode 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 inter- face of logic systems to equipment powered from 115/240 VAC lines, such as solid-state relays, industrial controls, motors, sole- noids and consumer appliances, etc.
The MOC306X‑M and MOC316X‑M devices are GaAs infrared emitting diode optocouplers optically coupled to a silicon detector, providing zero‑voltage‑cross bilateral triac driving. They are intended for use with triacs in logic‑controlled equipment powered from 115/240 VAC, such as solid‑state relays, motor starters, solenoid valves, and lighting controls.
Key specifications include a 7500 V peak isolation voltage, 3 V typical LED trigger voltage, 500 µA holding current, and a dv/dt rating of up to 1500 V/µs (MOC306X‑M) or 1000 V/µs (MOC316X‑M). The series is offered in a 6‑pin DIP package with detailed mechanical dimensions and ordering options for surface‑mount and tape‑and‑reel formats.
