MOC3042M

onsemi · Triac, SCR Output Optoisolators · DIP-6

MOC3042M from onsemi, in a DIP-6. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 ANODE passive Anode of the input GaAs infrared LED; continuous forward current is limited to 60 mA absolute maximum, with reverse voltage rated at 6 V.
2 CATHODE passive Cathode of the input GaAs infrared LED; reverse voltage is rated at 6 V, and the operating forward current should lie between the 10 mA max IFT of the MOC3042M and the 60 mA absolute maximum.
3 N/C unconnected Marked N/C on the pinout drawing, so it has no connection to the internal circuit.
4 MAIN TERM. passive Main terminal of the bilateral triac driver output; the MOC3042M off-state terminal voltage VDRM is 400 V and the peak repetitive on-state current is 100 mA.
5 NC* unconnected Marked *DO NOT CONNECT (TRIAC SUBSTRATE) on the pinout drawing, so it must be left unconnected.
6 MAIN TERM. passive Main terminal of the bilateral triac driver output; the MOC3042M off-state terminal voltage VDRM is 400 V and the peak repetitive on-state current is 100 mA.
