MOC3041 Zero-Crossing TRIAC driven Optocoupler – DIP-6 – Generic

The MOC3041 is a TRIAC-driven Optocoupler with a Zero-Crossing configuration. It contains a TRIAC and an infrared light-emitting diode(LED). The TRIAC is also switched on when the LED is triggered.

A MOC3041 Opto-isolator is typically used to control another external switching device like as a TRIAC, MOSFET, or SCR, which controls an AC or DC load. TheMOC3041’s TRIAC can deliver up to 1A peak current, which is sufficient to activate an external switch. Without an external switch, the TRIAC should not be utilized to switch loads.
