Series PVN012APbF
Microelectronic Power IC
HEXFET® Power MOSFET Photovoltaic Relay Single-Pole, Normally-Open, 0-20V, 4.0A AC / 6.0A DC
General Description
The PVN012A Series Photovoltaic Relay at 50 milliohms features the lowest possible on-state resistance in a miniature package — lower than a comparable 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 GaAlAs light emitting diode (LED) which is optically isolated from the photovoltaic generator.
