Description
The MOC3051 consists of an infrared LED optically coupled to a photodiode that drives a triac. When the LED is activated by an input signal, it emits infrared light, which is detected by the photodiode. This triggers the triac, enabling the control of AC loads without a direct electrical connection between the control and load circuits. Unlike some other optocouplers, the MOC3051 does not feature zero-crossing detection, making it suitable for random-phase triggering, which is useful in applications requiring phase-angle control.
