The MOC3020 Series consists of gallium arsenide infrared emitting diodes,
optically coupled to a silicon bilateral switch.
To order devices that are tested and marked per VDE 0884 requirements, the
suffix ”V” must be included at end of part number. VDE 0884 is a test option.
They are designed for applications requiring isolated triac triggering.
Recommended for 115/240 Vac(rms) Applications:
Solenoid/Valve Controls Static ac Power Switch

1. Test voltage must be applied within dv/dt rating.
2. This is static dv/dt. See Figure 7 for test circuit. Commutating dv/dt is a function of the load–driving thyristor(s) only.
3. All devices are guaranteed to trigger at an IF value less than or equal to max IFT. Therefore, recommended operating IF lies between max
3. IFT (15 mA for MOC3021, 10 mA for MOC3022, 5 mA for MOC3023) and absolute max IF (60 mA).

1. The mercury wetted relay provides a high speed repeated
pulse to the D.U.T.
2. 100x scope probes are used, to allow high speeds and
voltages.
3. The worst–case condition for static dv/dt is established by
triggering the D.U.T. with a normal LED input current, then
removing the current. The variable RTEST allows the dv/dt to be
gradually increased until the D.U.T. continues to trigger in
response to the applied voltage pulse, even after the LED
current has been removed. The dv/dt is then decreased until
the D.U.T. stops triggering.

RC is measured at this point and

*This optoisolator should not be used to drive a load directly . It is in-
tended to be a trigger device only. In this circuit the “hot” side of the line is switched and the
load connected to the cold or ground side.
The 39 ohm resistor and 0.01 µF capacitor are for snub-
bing of the triac, and the 470 ohm resistor and 0.05 µF ca-
pacitor are for snubbing the coupler. These components
may or may not be necessary depending upon the particu-
lar triac and load used.
Additional information on the use of optically coupled triac
drivers is available in Application Note AN–780A.
