LITEON Technology MOC3083 Environmental and export classification status description

The MOC3083 is an opto-isolator (also known as an opto-coupler) that provides electrical isolation between its input and output. It contains an internal light-emitting diode (LED) and a phototransistor, making it suitable for signal isolation in various applications. Being specifically designed for interfacing high-voltage circuits with low-voltage controllers, the MOC3083 is widely used in solid-state relays and switching applications. Functions - Electrical Isolation: Provides galvanic isolation between input and output circuits, protecting sensitive components from high voltages. - Signal Transfer: Transfers digital signals from one side to another, allowing for control of high voltage devices using low voltage logic. - Switching Control: Capable of controlling the on/off states of high-power devices like motors, LEDs, and relays. - Current Transfer Ratio (CTR): The device’s capability to transfer current through the phototransistor in response to the input current, ensuring efficient signal transmission. Applications - Solid-State Relays: Used for switching and controlling AC loads in power control systems. - Microcontroller Interfaces: Interfacing microcontrollers with high-voltage environments for data communication. - Automated Equipment: Employed in industrial automation systems for safe control and feedback systems. - Signal Isolation in Communication Systems: Provides isolation to protect sensitive components from noise and voltage spikes. Alternative Parts - MOC3063: Similar opto-isolator, typically with differences in output characteristics. - MOC3021: Also an opto-isolator, but with different isolation voltage and specifications. - MOC3061: Another similar product with minor differences in the CTR and electrical specifications. Embedded Modules While the MOC3083 itself is a standalone component, there are embedded modules and development boards that integrate opto-isolators for prototyping and easier integration, such as: - Opto-isolator Module Boards: General boards that feature multiple opto-isolators, sometimes including the MOC3083. - Relay Modules with Isolators: These often incorporate opto-isolators like the MOC3083 for safe control of relay operations. Related Q&A Q1: What is the maximum isolation voltage for the MOC3083? A1: The MOC3083 typically has an isolation voltage of around 5000 VRMS, providing ample protection for interfacing low-voltage control circuits with high-voltage systems. Q2: How does the MOC3083 differ from standard transistors? A2: Unlike standard transistors, the MOC3083 offers electrical isolation between the input and output circuits, which is essential in applications where high voltage and sensitive components coexist. Q3: Can the MOC3083 be used to drive AC loads directly? A3: The MOC3083 can control AC loads but typically requires additional components, such as a relay, in conjunction with it to ensure safe switching of high voltages. Q4: What is the typical current transfer ratio (CTR) for the MOC3083? A4: The typical current transfer ratio (CTR) for the MOC3083 is around 100% to 500%, depending on the test conditions, which means that it can efficiently transfer input current to output. Q5: In what scenarios would you choose the MOC3083 over other opto-isolators? A5: The MOC3083 is preferred in applications requiring high isolation voltage and where control of AC loads is necessary, especially in industrial automation and solid-state relay circuits.
