MOC 3023M
« on: July 11, 2015, 04:13:10 pm »
I am new to electronics.
Just wanted to know if I can directly provide 240Vac to the anode of MOC-3023M or should I use a resistor in between?

also will a zero crossing IC like MOC-3042M work on the same voltage?

I have read the datasheets but I don't understand every part of it, still learning.

Thanks in advance

Max voltage between anode and cathode is 1.5 Volts. Don't use higher voltage. It is an LED on the primary side!

It is meant to be used in "reverse" compared to what you want: To use a microcontroller to control 120/240VAC, and absolutely NOT to use 120/240VAC to control a microcontroller.

Are you not happy with any of the suggestions you already received in your other threads?

No i was
But it's too difficult to find ic like that where I live and online ordering was getting expensive
So I started looking for some cheap alternative
