The MOC3083 is a zero-cross optoisolator triac driver IC used to safely interface low-voltage control circuits (Arduino, microcontrollers, PLCs) with high-voltage AC loads.
It contains an infrared LED input and a photosensitive triac output, providing strong galvanic isolation between the control side and AC mains.
The key feature of the MOC3083 is its zero-cross detection capability. This ensures that the triac is triggered only when the AC waveform crosses zero volts, minimizing:
- Electrical noise (EMI/RFI)
- Inrush current
- Stress on the external triac and load
- Electromagnetic interference
Compared to other models in the MOC308x family, the MOC3083 requires the lowest LED trigger current, making it easy to drive directly from microcontroller GPIO pins.
