MOC3021 is Triac driven a zero-crossing optocoupler. Optocoupler is made of light-emitting and light-sensing devices with no internal connection except light bean. The optoisolators allow two circuits to exchange signal without making any electrical connection. This device works on the principle that light is proportional to signal and the signal is transferred to a phototransistor. It is used as solenoid, valve control, light dimmers, motor speed controller and as a perfect solid state relay.
