Series PVN012APbF Microelectronic Power IC HEXFET Power MOSFET Photovoltaic Relay Single-Pole, Normally-Open, 0-20V, 4.0A AC / 6.0A DC General Description Features The PVN012A Series Photovoltaic Relay at 50 milliohms features the lowest possible on-state 50m On-Resistance resistance in a miniature package lower than a Bounce-free Operation comparable reed relay. 4.0 - 6.0 Amp Capacity The PVN012A is a single-pole, normally open solid- Linear AC/DC Operation state relay. It utilizes a HEXFET MOSFET output 4,000 V I/O Isolation RMS switch, driven by an integrated circuit photovoltaic Solid-State Reliability generator of novel construction. The output switch is UL Recognized controlled by radiation from a GaAlAs light emitting ESD Tolerance: diode (LED) which is optically isolated from the 4000V Human Body Model photovoltaic generator. 500V Machine Model These units exceed the performance capabilities of electromechanical relays in life, sensitivity, stable on- resistance, 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.
