MOC3011 Optocoupler: High Isolation & Low Trigger Current

The MOC3011 is a 6-pin optocoupler designed to drive triacs in AC circuits. Its IR LED input needs just about 10 mA trigger current (IFT) to switch, which keeps input power low. On the output side, it handles up to 250 V off-state voltage, making it safe for 115 VAC systems. The device also offers excellent isolation — up to 7.5 kV peak — between LED and triac output, protecting sensitive control electronics. Operating range spans −40 °C to +85 °C, so it works in a wide variety of environments. For robust triac triggering with safety built in, choose the MOC3011. Contact us to order today.
