Fairchild offers simple function optocouplers for low-bandwidth/general switching applications, high performance optocouplers for high bandwidth/high-gain applications, high-voltage optocoupler for AC load switching applications, and other complex functions that provide unique performance characteristics. 

The MOC304XM devices consist of a AlGaAs infrared emitting diode optically coupled to a monolithic silicon detector performing the function of a zero voltage crossing bilateral triac driver.  They are designed for use with a triac in the interface of logic systems to equipment powered from 115 VAC lines such as teletypewriters, CTRs, solid-state relays, industrial controls, printers, motors, solenoids and consumer appliances, etc.

The MOC3041M can be used in an array of isolation applications such as: Solenoid/valve controls, lighting controls, AC motor drives/startes, static power switches, solid state relays, and temperature controls.
