MOC216R1VM Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MOC216R1VM 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 new designs and ongoing production requirements. The part provides DC input with transistor output including base connection, suitable for applications requiring galvanic isolation with moderate switching speeds.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the MOC216R1VM are classified into two categories based on electrical and mechanical compatibility:

Parametric Equivalents maintain identical electrical specifications across all critical parameters: 2500Vrms isolation voltage, 50% minimum current transfer ratio at 1mA, 150mA output current, 30V maximum output voltage, identical switching times, and 8-SOIC package. These parts are direct functional replacements with no circuit redesign required.

Similar Parts share the same package, output type (transistor with base), and mounting technology but differ in isolation voltage rating (4000Vrms vs 2500Vrms) and current transfer ratio specifications. These parts require design verification to confirm compatibility with the application's isolation and switching requirements.

The key parameters determining substitution eligibility are:

• Voltage - Isolation (2500Vrms for parametric equivalents)
• Current Transfer Ratio (Min) at specified current
• Output Type (Transistor with Base)
• Package / Case (8-SOIC)
• Mounting Type (Surface Mount)
• Maximum Output Voltage and Current ratings

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Replacement (Parametric Equivalents):

MOC216R2M and MOC216R2VM are parametric equivalents to the MOC216R1VM. Both parts maintain active product status, identical electrical specifications, and 8-SOIC packaging. MOC216R2M is supplied in Tape & Reel packaging with ROHS3 compliance. MOC216R2VM is supplied in Bulk packaging. Either part provides a direct functional replacement without circuit modification.

For Enhanced Isolation Applications:

IL215AT and IL216AT are similar parts offering higher isolation voltage (4000Vrms vs 2500Vrms) with the same 8-SOIC package and transistor output configuration. IL216AT maintains the 50% minimum current transfer ratio matching the original part, while IL215AT specifies 20% minimum current transfer ratio. Both parts feature faster switching times (3µs vs 7.5µs turn-on) and extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 100°C). These parts are suitable for applications requiring higher isolation margins or faster switching performance, subject to circuit validation.

All recommended substitutes maintain REACH compliance and EAR99 export classification consistent with the original part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MOC216R2M and MOC216R2VM be used interchangeably with MOC216R1VM?

A: Yes. Both parts are parametric equivalents with identical electrical specifications including 2500Vrms isolation, 50% minimum current transfer ratio, 150mA output current, and 30V maximum output voltage. The primary difference is packaging format: MOC216R2M uses Tape & Reel while MOC216R2VM uses Bulk. Circuit performance is equivalent.

Q: What are the key differences between the MOC216 series and IL215AT/IL216AT?

A: The IL215AT and IL216AT parts provide 4000Vrms isolation voltage compared to 2500Vrms for the MOC216 series. IL216AT maintains the 50% minimum current transfer ratio of the MOC216R1VM, while IL215AT specifies 20% minimum. Both IL parts feature faster switching times (3µs vs 7.5µs turn-on). These differences require design verification if substituting into existing MOC216 applications.

Q: Are there compliance or regulatory differences between substitute parts?

A: MOC216R2M and both IL parts carry ROHS3 compliance certification. All recommended substitutes maintain REACH Unaffected status and EAR99 export classification. Moisture sensitivity level is 1 (Unlimited) for all parts except MOC216R2VM where this specification is not provided.

Q: What packaging options are available for the parametric equivalents?

A: MOC216R2M is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format suitable for automated assembly. MOC216R2VM is supplied in Bulk format. Both use the same 8-SOIC (0.154", 3.90mm Width) package footprint with identical pin configuration.

Q: Can IL215AT be used if only 20% current transfer ratio is available?

A: IL215AT specifies 20% minimum current transfer ratio compared to 50% for the MOC216R1VM. This lower transfer ratio may affect circuit performance and requires design analysis to confirm adequate LED drive current and output switching characteristics for the specific application.
