Triac output with 1 kV/µs dV/dt immunity
The onsemi MOC3033M is a 1-channel optoisolator with a Triac output, 4170Vrms isolation, and a 250 V off-state blocking voltage. The 1 kV/µs minimum static dV/dt means the output resists false triggering from line transients — critical when switching inductive loads like solenoids or small motors on a 120 VAC or 240 VAC line. The integrated zero-crossing circuit gates the Triac on only near the AC voltage zero, reducing inrush current and EMI at turn-on. This makes the MOC3033M a natural fit for resistive heater or incandescent lamp loads where soft switching extends contact life.
Sourcing and peer cross-reference
The closest peer in the family is the MOC3073M, which shares the same 1 kV/µs dV/dt, 4170Vrms isolation, and 6-DIP through-hole package, but lacks the zero-crossing circuit.
