PVN012APbF Datasheet | International Rectifier

Description The PVN012A Series Photovoltaic Relay at 50 milliohms features the lowest possible on-state resistance in a miniature package - lower than a parable reed relay. The PVN012A is a single-pole, normally open solid- state relay. It utilizes a HEXFET® MOSFET output switch, driven by an integrated circuit photovoltaic generator of novel construction. The output switch is controlled by radiation from a Ga Al As light emitting diode (LED) which is optically isolated from the photovoltaic generator. These units exceed the performance capabilities of electromechanical relays in life, sensitivity, stable onresistance, miniaturization, magnetic insensitivity and ruggedness. They are ideally suited for switching high currents or low level signals without distortion or injection of electrical noise. Series PVN012A relays are packaged in a 6-lead molded DIP package with either thru-hole or surface mount (gull-wing) terminals. They are available in standard plastic shipping tubes or on tape-and-reel. Please refer to part identification information.
