MOC217R1M Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The MOC217R1M is an optoisolator transistor with base output manufactured by onsemi, rated for 2500Vrms isolation voltage in an 8-SOIC surface mount package. This component provides galvanic isolation for single-channel DC input applications with transistor output capability. The MOC217R1M is classified as obsolete, making equivalent and substitute parts necessary for new designs and ongoing production requirements. Direct equivalents and parametric alternatives are available from onsemi and other manufacturers with active product status.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the MOC217R1M is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Isolation Voltage: 2500Vrms minimum
• Number of Channels: 1 channel
• Output Type: Transistor with Base
• Package: 8-SOIC form factor
• Mounting: Surface Mount
• Current Transfer Ratio: 100% @ 10mA minimum
• Maximum Output Voltage: 30V
• Maximum Output Current: 150mA per channel
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to 100°C

Substitute parts are grouped into two categories:

Direct Equivalents (MOC217M, MOC217R2M, MOC217R2VM): These parts maintain identical electrical specifications and isolation voltage (2500Vrms), differing only in packaging format or product status. They are fully interchangeable in circuit design.

Similar Alternatives (IL215AT, IL216AT): These parts share the same package, mounting type, and output configuration but feature higher isolation voltage (4000Vrms) and different current transfer ratio specifications. These are suitable for applications where enhanced isolation margin is acceptable and electrical parameters remain within design tolerance.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Replacement (Preferred):

MOC217M is the primary recommendation for direct substitution. It maintains identical electrical specifications and isolation voltage while offering active product status from onsemi. This part is available in Tube packaging and provides the most straightforward design continuity.

MOC217R2M is functionally equivalent to MOC217R1M with identical electrical parameters. It is supplied in Tape & Reel format and carries active product status with ROHS3 compliance certification. This variant is suitable for high-volume production environments.

MOC217R2VM, manufactured by Fairchild Semiconductor, provides parametric equivalence with identical isolation voltage and electrical specifications. It is available in Bulk packaging and maintains active product status.

For Enhanced Isolation Margin:

IL215AT and IL216AT offer higher isolation voltage (4000Vrms) compared to the MOC217R1M specification (2500Vrms). Both parts maintain the same 8-SOIC package and surface mount configuration. IL215AT is supplied in Tape & Reel format, while IL216AT is available in Cut Tape and Digi-Reel packaging. Both carry ROHS3 compliance and active product status. These alternatives are suitable when design margins for isolation voltage are required, though current transfer ratio specifications differ from the original part.

Compliance Considerations:

MOC217M, MOC217R2M, IL215AT, and IL216AT all carry ROHS3 compliance certification. All parts maintain MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, ensuring compatibility with standard PCB assembly processes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can MOC217M be used as a direct replacement for MOC217R1M?

A: Yes. MOC217M is a direct equivalent with identical electrical specifications, isolation voltage (2500Vrms), current transfer ratio (100% @ 10mA), and operating temperature range (-40°C to 100°C). The primary difference is packaging format (Tube versus unspecified) and active product status. No circuit modifications are required.

Q: What is the difference between MOC217R2M and MOC217R2VM?

A: Both parts are parametrically equivalent to MOC217R1M with identical isolation voltage and electrical specifications. MOC217R2M is manufactured by onsemi and supplied in Tape & Reel format. MOC217R2VM is manufactured by Fairchild Semiconductor and supplied in Bulk packaging. Selection depends on packaging requirements and supplier availability.

Q: Can IL215AT or IL216AT replace MOC217R1M in all applications?

A: IL215AT and IL216AT share the same 8-SOIC package and output configuration but feature higher isolation voltage (4000Vrms versus 2500Vrms). Current transfer ratio specifications differ: IL215AT provides 20% @ 1mA and IL216AT provides 50% @ 1mA, compared to MOC217R1M's 100% @ 10mA. These parts are suitable for applications where higher isolation margin is acceptable and circuit design accommodates the different current transfer ratio. Electrical verification is required for specific applications.

Q: What packaging options are available for MOC217 equivalents?

A: MOC217M is available in Tube packaging. MOC217R2M is supplied in Tape & Reel format. MOC217R2VM is available in Bulk packaging. IL215AT is supplied in Tape & Reel format. IL216AT is available in Cut Tape and Digi-Reel packaging. Selection depends on production volume and assembly process requirements.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: MOC217M, MOC217R2M, IL215AT, and IL216AT all carry ROHS3 compliance certification. MOC217R1M and MOC217R2VM do not specify RoHS status in the provided data.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for each substitute?

A: MOC217R1M, MOC217M, MOC217R2M, and MOC217R2VM all operate from -40°C to 100°C. IL215AT and IL216AT offer an extended lower temperature limit, operating from -55°C to 100°C, providing wider temperature range coverage for demanding applications.
