Notes
1.

Test voltage must be applied within dv/dt rating.

2.

All devices are guaranteed to trigger at an IF value less than or equal to max IFT. Therefore, recommended operating IF lies
between max IFT (15 mA for MOC3061-M, 10 mA for MOC3062-M & MOC3162-M, 5 mA for MOC3063-M & MOC3163-M) and

3.

absolute max IF (60 mA).

This is static dv/dt. See Figure 9 for test circuit. Commutating dv/dt is a function of the load-driving thyristor(s) only.
4.

Isolation surge voltage, VISO, is an internal device dielectric breakdown rating. For this test, Pins 1 and 2 are
common, and Pins 4, 5 and 6 are common.

100x scope probes are used, to allow high speeds and voltages.
2.

The worst-case condition for static dv/dt is established by triggering the D.U.T. with a normal LED input current, then
removing the current. The variable vernier resistor combined with various capacitor combinations allows the dv/dt to be
gradually increased until the D.U.T. continues to trigger in response to the applied voltage pulse, even after the LED
current has been removed. The dv/dt is then decreased until the D.U.T. stops triggering. RC is measured at this point
and recorded.

BASIC APPLICATIONS

Typical circuit for use when hot line switching is required. In this
circuit the "hot" side of the line is switched and the load connected
to the cold or neutral side. The load may be connected to either the
neutral or hot line.
