MOC213R2VM Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MOC213R2VM is an optoisolator transistor with base output rated for 2500Vrms isolation voltage in an 8-SOIC surface mount package. This component is classified as obsolete, making equivalent and substitute parts necessary for ongoing design support and procurement. The MOC213R2VM provides galvanic isolation with a single transistor output channel, suitable for applications requiring DC input isolation with transistor-based switching output.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the MOC213R2VM is determined by the following critical parameters:

Parametric Equivalents maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications:

• Voltage - Isolation: 2500Vrms
• Number of Channels: 1
• Output Type: Transistor with Base
• Voltage - Output (Max): 30V
• Current - Output / Channel: 150mA
• Vce Saturation (Max): 400mV
• Package / Case: 8-SOIC (0.154", 3.90mm Width)
• Current Transfer Ratio (Min): 100% @ 10mA
• Operating Temperature: -40°C ~ 100°C

Similar Parts share the same package, output type, and mounting configuration but differ in isolation voltage rating and current transfer ratio specifications. These parts are suitable for applications where higher isolation voltage is acceptable and the lower current transfer ratio meets circuit requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

MOC213R2M is the primary substitute for the obsolete MOC213R2VM. This part is manufactured by onsemi with active product status and maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The MOC213R2M is RoHS3 compliant and carries the same isolation voltage, current transfer ratio, output characteristics, and package configuration. This part provides direct functional replacement with improved supply availability.

IL215AT and IL216AT are alternative optoisolators from Vishay Semiconductor Opto Division suitable for applications where higher isolation voltage (4000Vrms) is acceptable. Both parts maintain the same 8-SOIC package, transistor output type, and maximum output voltage. IL215AT provides 20% current transfer ratio at 1mA, while IL216AT provides 50% current transfer ratio at 1mA. Both parts feature faster switching times (3µs on/off) compared to the MOC213R2VM and support extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 100°C). These parts are RoHS3 compliant and carry active product status.

Selection between these alternatives depends on circuit requirements for isolation voltage, current transfer ratio, and switching speed. The MOC213R2M provides direct replacement capability. The Vishay alternatives offer higher isolation voltage and faster response times for applications requiring these enhanced specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MOC213R2M be used as a direct replacement for MOC213R2VM?

A: Yes. The MOC213R2M maintains identical electrical specifications including 2500Vrms isolation voltage, 100% current transfer ratio at 10mA, 150mA output current, and 8-SOIC package configuration. The primary difference is product status: MOC213R2M is active while MOC213R2VM is obsolete.

Q: What are the key differences between MOC213R2M and the Vishay IL215AT / IL216AT options?

A: The MOC213R2M maintains the 2500Vrms isolation voltage of the original MOC213R2VM. The IL215AT and IL216AT provide higher 4000Vrms isolation voltage. Current transfer ratio specifications differ: MOC213R2M specifies 100% at 10mA, while IL215AT specifies 20% at 1mA and IL216AT specifies 50% at 1mA. Switching times are faster for the Vishay parts (3µs vs 7.5µs turn-on). All three parts share the same 8-SOIC package and 30V maximum output voltage.

Q: Are all substitute parts compatible with the same PCB layout?

A: Yes. All substitute parts use the 8-SOIC (0.154", 3.90mm Width) package and surface mount configuration, enabling direct PCB footprint compatibility without layout modifications.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to these substitute parts?

A: MOC213R2M is RoHS3 compliant. IL215AT and IL216AT are both RoHS3 compliant. All parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating. All parts are REACH Unaffected and classified as EAR99 for export control purposes.

Q: Which substitute part should be selected for new designs?

A: For direct functional replacement of the obsolete MOC213R2VM, select MOC213R2M. For applications requiring higher isolation voltage (4000Vrms) and faster switching response, select IL216AT (50% CTR at 1mA) or IL215AT (20% CTR at 1mA) based on circuit current transfer ratio requirements.
