The MOC3012TM optoisolators from Fairchild Semiconductor are available with triac, SCR output, and are commonly used in AC power control and solid-state relays.

An optoisolator is an electronic component used to transfer electrical signals between two isolated systems, by using optical component. The MOC3012TM optoisolators combine a triac, SCR output, and LED optically coupled with a solid state IC. These optoisolators are designed to provide isolated performance under ESD (electrostatic discharge) and surge transient protection. They are typically used in applications that require isolation of the anode of the thyristor or triac from the gates or current paths of the semiconductor device.

The MOC3012TM comprises a GaAs LED optically coupled to an optically coupled triac, SCR output IC. The LED is driven by an external electrical signal, converting it to an optical signal that is transmitted to the IC through an optical isolation. The IC then switches on the output to drive the thyristor or triac. The output is also protected against electrostatic discharges and powerful electrical transients such as lightning or switching noise. The ICs are provided with short-circuit protection and open-circuit protection, allowing the ICs to be used in harsh applications.

The operating principle of MOC3012TM optoisolators is quite simple. An external electrical signal is applied to the LED, which converts it to an optical signal that is transmitted to the IC via the optical isolation. The IC then switches on the output to drive the thyristor or triac, which is then used to control the AC power supply.

The MOC3012TM optoisolators are widely used in the following applications: AC power control, DC to AC converters, LED dimmers, motor speed control, industrial control, and solid-state relays. They are used to control the power supply of AC- and DC-operated systems. They are also used to protect sensitive equipment from harmful power surges and transient noise. The optoisolator is also used to control motor speed, LED dimming, electric fan speed, and other industrial applications.

Overall, the MOC3012TM optoisolators are widely used for AC power control and solid-state relays. They provide a reliable and cost-effective solution for isolating the electrical signal of an external source, while providing protection against ESD and transient noise. They offer short-circuit and open-circuit protection, allowing them to be used in harsh environments. They are commonly used in applications such as AC power control, motor speed control, LED dimming, and industrial control.
