It contains an infrared LED input and a light-activated phototriac output, providing galvanic isolation between the control circuitry and AC mains.
Because it does not have zero-cross detection, the MOC3052 can trigger a triac at any point in the AC waveform, making it perfect for:
- AC light dimming
- Motor/fan speed control
- Phase-angle controlled power systems
Compared to the MOC3051, the MOC3052 requires lower LED trigger current, making it easier to drive directly from logic circuits.
