Product details

Triac output optoisolator for AC load switching

The FOD4118V is a 1-channel optoisolator from onsemi with a triac output, designed to drive AC loads such as solenoids, motors, and lamps from a low-voltage logic signal. Its 5000Vrms isolation rating and 800 V off-state voltage make it suitable for 240 VAC line switching with margin for transients. The built-in zero-crossing circuit triggers the triac only when the AC voltage crosses zero, minimising inrush current and conducted EMI.

Parametric deep-dive: dV/dt immunity and trigger current

Static dV/dt is rated at a minimum of 10kV/µs — this means the output triac will not falsely trigger on fast voltage transients from inductive load switching or mains-borne spikes. In a motor-drive application, that immunity saves the nuisance tripping that a lower-rated optoisolator would cause. The maximum LED trigger current (Ift) is 1.3 mA, with a typical forward voltage of 1.25 V. Hold current (Ih) is 500 µA — the triac stays latched once triggered as long as the load current exceeds this value.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between FOD4118V and the FOD4208V?

The FOD4208V is a non-zero-crossing triac driver, while the FOD4118V includes a zero-crossing circuit. Both offer 5000Vrms isolation, 10kV/µs dV/dt, and 60 µs turn-on time. Choose the FOD4208V if you need phase-angle control (e.g., dimming); choose the FOD4118V for on/off switching where zero-crossing turn-on reduces EMI.

Can FOD4118V be used for AC load switching?

Yes — the triac output with 800 V off-state voltage and zero-crossing circuit is designed for switching AC loads up to 240 VAC. The 5000Vrms isolation provides galvanic separation between the logic-side and mains-side circuits.
