Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between MOC3063 and EL3063?
A: The MOC3063 and EL3063 are functionally equivalent, pin-compatible optoisolator TRIAC driver ICs produced by different manufacturers. They share the same DIP-6 footprint, zero-crossing detection circuit, and TRIAC driver output characteristics, making them interchangeable in most circuit designs.
Q: What does zero-cross detection mean in an optoisolator?
A: Zero-cross detection means the optoisolator only triggers the TRIAC output at the point where the AC waveform crosses zero volts. This greatly reduces switching transients, electrical noise, and EMI — making it ideal for noise-sensitive applications like lighting control or motor switching.
Q: Can I use the MOC3063 with an Arduino or other microcontroller?
A: Yes. The MOC3063 is commonly used with microcontrollers such as Arduino, ESP32, and PIC to switch high-voltage AC loads safely. A low-voltage DC signal from the microcontroller drives the LED input side, while the TRIAC output side controls the AC load — providing full galvanic isolation between your control circuit and mains voltage.
Q: How many pieces are included in this listing?
A: This listing includes 10 pieces (10 pcs/lot) of the MOC3063 / EL3063 DIP-6 optoisolator TRIAC driver ICs, all brand new.
