3D Model

The MOC3063 is an optically coupled isolator. It consists of a Gallium Arsenide infrared emitting diode coupled with a monolithic silicon detector performing the functions of a zero-crossing bilateral triac mounted in a standard 6 pin dual-in-line package. MOC3063 is designed for use with a triac in the interface of logic systems to equipment powered from 115/240 Vac lines, such as solid–state relays, industrial controls, motors, solenoids and consumer appliances, etc.

The MOC3061, MOC3062 and MOC3063 devices consist of gallium arsenide infrared emitting diodes optically coupled to monolithic silicon detectors performing the functions of Zero Voltage Crossing bilateral triac drivers. They are designed for use with a triac in the interface of logic systems to equipment powered from 115/240 Vac lines, such as solid–state relays, industrial controls, motors, solenoids and consumer appliances, etc.

This article will introduce MOC3063 systematically from its features, pinout to its specifications, applications, also including MOC3063 datasheet and so much more.

The following figure is the diagram of MOC3063 Coupler Schematic.

Coupler Schematic

An Optoisolator or Optocoupler has different types; phototransistor type, photodarlington transistor type, photo TRIAC type, and a photo SCR type. In this description, we are considering a photo TRIAC type OC/OI. PhotoTriac and photo SCR are generally used for AC or high power circuits.

A typical circuit is shown can be used for AC applications where hotline switching is required, here a variant of MOC306X optocoupler IC is used which serves the same purpose as MOC3063.

● AC Motor Drives

● AC Motor Starters

● E.M. Contactors

● Lighting Controls

● Solenoid/Valve Controls

● Solid State Relays

● Static Power Switches

● Temperature Controls

Lite-On (also known as LiteOn and LiteON) is a Taiwanese Company that primarily manufactures consumer electronics, including LEDs, semiconductors, computer chassis, monitors, motherboards, optical disc drives, and other electronic components. The Lite-On group also consists of some non-electronic companies like a finance arm and a cultural company.

Lite-On started producing LED lamps in 1975 and has steadily grown into one of the world's largest optoelectronics manufacturers by providing customers with both visible and infrared product solutions. High volume capacities for commodity items and application specific products, combined with strong R&D and vertical integration, have proven to be key distinguishing factors in Lite-On's success.
