Power MOSFET Photovoltaic Relay
Single Pole, Normally Open, 0-20V, 2.5A AC/ 4.5A DC
General Description
The PVN013 Series Photovoltaic Relay at 100
milliohms features the lowest possible on-state
resistance in a miniature package 鈥?lower than a
comparable reed relay.
The PVN013 is a single-pole, normally open solid-
state relay. It utilizes a GenerationV HEXFET output
switch, driven by an integrated circuit photovoltaic
generator of novel construction. The output switch
is controlled by radiation from a GaAlAs light emit-
ting diode (LED) which is optically isolated from
the photovoltaic generator.
These units exceed the performance capabilities
of electromechanical relays in life, sensitivity, stable
on-resistance, low off-state leakage, miniaturiza-
tion, magnetic insensitivity and ruggedness. They
are ideally suited for switching high currents or low
level signals without distortion or injection of elec-
trical noise.
Series PVN013 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 in-
formation opposite.
