MOC212R2VM Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MOC212R2VM is an optoisolator transistor with base output manufactured by onsemi, designed for 2500Vrms isolation applications in 8-SOIC surface mount packaging. This component provides galvanic isolation for low-speed switching and signal transmission in industrial and consumer electronics. The part is currently listed as obsolete, making equivalent and substitute parts necessary for ongoing design support and production continuity. Active alternatives with comparable or enhanced electrical characteristics are available from both onsemi and Vishay Semiconductor Opto Division.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the MOC212R2VM is determined by the following critical parameters:

Parametric Equivalent Category: Parts that maintain identical electrical specifications across isolation voltage, current transfer ratio, output voltage/current ratings, and switching characteristics. These parts are direct functional replacements with no circuit redesign required.

Similar/Enhanced Category: Parts that exceed the isolation voltage or modify current transfer ratio specifications while maintaining compatible package, output type, and thermal operating range. These parts require verification of circuit tolerance to higher isolation ratings but offer enhanced performance margins.

The MOC212R2M qualifies as a parametric equivalent, sharing all electrical specifications with the obsolete MOC212R2VM while offering active product status. The IL215AT and IL216AT from Vishay represent similar alternatives with enhanced 4000Vrms isolation voltage, suitable for applications requiring higher isolation margins within the same 8-SOIC package footprint.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

MOC212R2M (onsemi): Direct parametric replacement for MOC212R2VM. Identical electrical specifications with active product status and ROHS3 compliance. Recommended as the primary substitute for designs currently using MOC212R2VM. Packaging available in Tape & Reel format supports production continuity.

IL215AT (Vishay Semiconductor Opto Division): Enhanced isolation voltage (4000Vrms vs. 2500Vrms) with reduced current transfer ratio minimum (20% @ 1mA vs. 50% @ 10mA) and faster switching times (3µs vs. 7.5µs turn-on). Extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 100°C). Suitable for applications requiring higher isolation margins. ROHS3 compliant. Packaging in Tape & Reel format.

IL216AT (Vishay Semiconductor Opto Division): Enhanced isolation voltage (4000Vrms vs. 2500Vrms) with improved current transfer ratio (50% @ 1mA vs. 50% @ 10mA) and faster switching times (3µs vs. 7.5µs turn-on). Extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 100°C). ROHS3 compliant. Packaging in Cut Tape & Digi-Reel format. Preferred over IL215AT when higher current transfer ratio at lower input current is required.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MOC212R2M be used as a direct replacement for MOC212R2VM?

A: Yes. MOC212R2M is a parametric equivalent with identical isolation voltage (2500Vrms), current transfer ratio (50% @ 10mA), output voltage/current ratings, and switching characteristics. No circuit modifications are required. The primary difference is product status: MOC212R2M is active while MOC212R2VM is obsolete.

Q: What is the difference between IL215AT and IL216AT?

A: Both parts offer 4000Vrms isolation and 8-SOIC packaging. The key difference is current transfer ratio: IL215AT specifies 20% @ 1mA, while IL216AT specifies 50% @ 1mA. IL216AT provides higher current transfer ratio at lower input current levels. Packaging format differs: IL215AT is supplied in Tape & Reel, while IL216AT is supplied in Cut Tape & Digi-Reel.

Q: Can IL215AT or IL216AT replace MOC212R2VM in existing designs?

A: IL215AT and IL216AT are similar alternatives with enhanced 4000Vrms isolation voltage compared to MOC212R2VM's 2500Vrms. Both maintain compatible 8-SOIC packaging and output type. Switching times are faster (3µs vs. 7.5µs turn-on). Operating temperature range is extended (-55°C to 100°C vs. -40°C to 100°C). These parts are suitable for applications where higher isolation voltage provides design margin, but circuit tolerance to faster switching characteristics must be confirmed.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: MOC212R2M, IL215AT, and IL216AT are all ROHS3 compliant. MOC212R2VM compliance status is not specified in the provided data.

Q: What packaging formats are available for each substitute?

A: MOC212R2M is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. IL215AT is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. IL216AT is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) & Digi-Reel format. All parts use 8-SOIC (0.154", 3.90mm Width) package.

Q: Do all parts share the same pin configuration?

A: All parts use 8-SOIC package with identical physical dimensions (0.154", 3.90mm Width). Pin configuration compatibility is determined by the transistor with base output type common to all parts. PCB layout modifications are not required for package substitution.
