  !   
(400 Volts Peak) 
The MOC3041, MOC3042 and MOC3043 devices consist of gallium arsenide
infrared emitting diodes 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 interface of logic systems to
equipment powered from 115 Vac lines, such as solidstate relays, industrial
controls, motors, solenoids and consumer appliances, etc.

1. Test voltage must be applied within dv/dt rating.
2. All devices are guaranteed to trigger at an IF value less than or equal to max IFT. Therefore, recommended operating IF lies between IFT
2. (15 mA for MOC3041, 10 mA for MOC3042, 5 mA for MOC3043) and absolute max IF (60 mA).
3. This is static dv/dt. See Figure 7 for test circuit. Commutating dv/dt is a function of the loaddriving thyristor(s) only.

Vdc RTEST 1. The mercury wetted relay provides a high speed repeated
R = 10 k pulse to the D.U.T.
2. 100x scope probes are used, to allow high speeds and

PULSE CTEST 3. The worstcase condition for static dv/dt is established by
INPUT MERCURY triggering the D.U.T. with a normal LED input current, then

Typical circuit for use when hot line switching is required.

VCC Rin 1 6 360 In this circuit the hot side of the line is switched and the
HOT
load connected to the cold or neutral side. The load may be
MOC3041/
2 3042/
5 connected to either the neutral or hot line.
39 Rin is calculated so that IF is equal to the rated IFT of the
3043
3 240 Vac part, 5 mA for the MOC3043, 10 mA for the MOC3042, or
4
15 mA for the MOC3041. The 39 ohm resistor and 0.01 F
0.01 capacitor are for snubbing of the triac and may or may not
330
be necessary depending upon the particular triac and load
LOAD NEUTRAL
used.
* For highly inductive loads (power factor < 0.5), change this value to
360 ohms.
