About this product
The MOC3042 is a zero-crossing optoisolated triac driver in a 6-pin DIP package with 5250 Vrms isolation. It switches a triac gate from a low-voltage logic signal, letting a microcontroller control AC loads such as lamps, heaters and motors while staying isolated from the mains.

Frequently asked questions
What is the price of MOC3042 Zero-Cross Optoisolator Triac Driver 6-Pin DIP in Egypt?
MOC3042 Zero-Cross Optoisolator Triac Driver 6-Pin DIP currently costs 16 EGP in Egypt.
Where can I buy MOC3042 Zero-Cross Optoisolator Triac Driver 6-Pin DIP in Egypt?
MOC3042 Zero-Cross Optoisolator Triac Driver 6-Pin DIP is available from Makers Electronics. Compare the offers above to find the best price.
Does it switch mains loads by itself?
No. It drives the gate of an external triac, and the triac switches the AC load. A gate resistor between the driver output and the triac gate is normally required.
What does zero-cross detection do?
It turns the triac on near the zero crossing of the AC waveform, which reduces electrical noise and inrush current compared with switching at random points in the cycle.
