ONSEMI Zero Crossing Optocoupler, DIP, 6 Pins, 400V, 7.5kV

This ONSEMI zero crossing optocoupler is a through-hole triac driver output device supplied in a 6-pin DIP package. The device contains a GaAs infrared emitting diode optically coupled to a monolithic silicon detector, which performs the function of a zero voltage crossing bilateral triac driver. This zero crossing feature ensures that the triac is only triggered when the AC mains voltage passes through zero, significantly reducing the generation of electrical noise and limiting the surge currents through the power device.

Specifically designed for interfacing logic systems to equipment powered from 115VAC lines, this optocoupler is highly versatile. It is perfectly suited for driving triacs in a wide variety of applications, including solid state relays, industrial controls, printers, motor and solenoid drivers, teletypewriters, and CRTs.
