Engineering Selection Recommendations

MOC213M (onsemi): Direct parametric equivalent with identical electrical specifications and package configuration. Recommended as the primary substitute due to active product status and full compatibility with MOC213VM designs. No circuit modifications required.

IL215AT (Vishay Semiconductor Opto Division): Compatible alternative with enhanced isolation voltage (4000Vrms vs. 2500Vrms). Suitable for applications requiring higher isolation margins. Current Transfer Ratio (Min) of 20% @ 1mA is lower than MOC213VM; circuit design must accommodate this specification difference. Available in Tape & Reel packaging.

IL216AT (Vishay Semiconductor Opto Division): Compatible alternative with enhanced isolation voltage (4000Vrms vs. 2500Vrms) and improved Current Transfer Ratio (Min) of 50% @ 1mA. Suitable for applications requiring higher isolation margins with better transfer ratio performance. Available in Cut Tape & Digi-Reel packaging. Extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 100°C) provides additional thermal margin.

All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating, ensuring compatibility with standard manufacturing and storage requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MOC213M be used as a direct replacement for MOC213VM? A: Yes. MOC213M is a parametric equivalent with identical isolation voltage (2500Vrms), current transfer ratio (100% @ 10mA), output voltage (30V max), output current (150mA), and saturation voltage (400mV). No circuit modifications are required. The primary difference is product status: MOC213M is Active while MOC213VM is Last Time Buy.

Q: What are the key differences between MOC213VM and the Vishay IL215AT / IL216AT alternatives? A: The primary differences are isolation voltage and current transfer ratio. IL215AT and IL216AT provide 4000Vrms isolation (vs. 2500Vrms for MOC213VM), offering higher isolation margins. However, IL215AT has a lower current transfer ratio (20% @ 1mA vs. 100% @ 10mA), while IL216AT provides 50% @ 1mA. Both Vishay parts support an extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 100°C vs. -40°C ~ 100°C).

Q: Are all substitute parts available in the same 8-SOIC package? A: Yes. All substitute parts use the 8-SOIC (0.154", 3.90mm Width) surface mount package, ensuring mechanical compatibility with existing PCB layouts. Packaging format differs: MOC213M is supplied in Tube, IL215AT in Tape & Reel, and IL216AT in Cut Tape & Digi-Reel.

Q: Which substitute should I select for a new design? A: MOC213M is recommended for designs requiring exact electrical equivalence to MOC213VM. IL216AT is recommended for applications requiring higher isolation voltage (4000Vrms) with improved current transfer ratio performance and extended temperature range. IL215AT is suitable only if the lower current transfer ratio (20% @ 1mA) is acceptable for the application.

Q: Are all parts RoHS and REACH compliant? A: Yes. All parts listed are ROHS3 Compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating. REACH status is Unaffected for all parts, confirming compliance with environmental and regulatory requirements.
