MOC3063 Zero-Cross Optocoupler

From Fairchild the MOC3063 optocoupler is a zero-voltage crossing bilateral TRIAC driver which simplifies logic control of 115/240 VAC power. They are designed to be used with a TRIAC in low voltage systems to control higher voltage and power equipment, especially equipment powered from AC power (hence the zero-voltage crossing functionality). Examples of such equipment include solid-state relays, industrial controls, motors, solenoids, appliances, etc. Specifications Breadboard friendly PDIP package with pin spacing of 2.54mm (0.1") Dimensions (excluding pins): 8.66mm (0.34") length x 6.55mm (0.26") width x 3.38mm (0.13") height Pin Length: 3.8mm (0.15") Performance Specifications: Max Isolation Surge Voltage: 750 VAC Emitter: Max Continuous Forward Current: 60mA Max Reverse Voltage: 6V LED Trigger Current: 5mA Detector: Max Peak Repetitive Surge Current: 1A Peak Blocking Current, Either Direction: 10-500nA Zero Crossing Characteristics: Inhibit Voltage (V above
