Series PVN012PbF Microelectronic Power IC HEXFET Power MOSFET Photovoltaic Relay Single-Pole, Normally-Open, 0-20V, 2.5A AC / 4.5A DC General Description Features The PVN012 Series Photovoltaic Relay at 100 milliohms features the lowest possible on-state 100m On-Resistance resistance in a miniature package lower than a GenV HEXFET output comparable reed relay. Bounce-free operation The PVN012 is a single-pole, normally open solid- 2.5 - 4.5 Amp capacity state relay. It utilizes a GenerationV HEXFET output Linear AC/DC operation switch, driven by an integrated circuit photovoltaic 4,000 V I/O isolation RMS generator of novel construction. The output switch is Solid-State reliability controlled by radiation from a GaAlAs light emitting UL recognized diode (LED) which is optically isolated from the photovoltaic generator. ESD Tolerance: 4000V Human Body Model These units exceed the performance capabilities of electromechanical relays in life, sensitivity, stable on- 500V Machine Model 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 PVN012 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 opposite.
