MOC3021 Application Circuit

Where to use MOC3021

The MOC3021 is normally used to control the AC appliance, such as the brightness of the bulb, the speed of the motor, etc. Either way, due to its limited current rating, an optocoupler will not be allowed to drive loads directly.

How to use MOC3021

The MOC3021 can be used to switch loads by just turning the LED on or off, or we can also use PWM signals to switch the LED and thus the TRIAC. When we switch the TRIAC using PWM signals then the output voltage across the load can be controlled thus controlling the speed/brightness of the load.
