MOC3063 Specifications
Review MOC3063 electrical specifications, operating conditions and package details.
Package view
Key specifications
The detector requires both sufficient optical drive and a low enough output-terminal voltage. Removing LED current does not force an already-conducting triac path off.
LED trigger max.5 mA · specified conditions
Ambient range−40–85 °C
Isolation test4.17 kVrms · one minute
