Product Overview

The MOC3063 is designed to interface logic systems to equipment powered by AC lines. It is commonly used in applications requiring isolated control of AC loads such as motors, lamps, and heaters, providing robust isolation and reliable switching performance. The zero-crossing circuitry ensures that the triac is switched on only when the AC voltage is near zero, which reduces electromagnetic interference and extends the life of the triac.
