PVG612

Previous Datasheet Index Next Data Sheet PD 1.035A Series PVG612 HEXFET® Power MOSFET Photovoltaic Relay Microelectronic Power IC Relay Single Pole, Normally Open, 0-60V, 1.0A AC/ 2.0 A DC General Description The PVG612 Series Photovoltaic Relay is a singlepole, normally open solid-state relay that can replace electromechanical relays in many applications. It utilizes International Rectifier’s proprietary HEXFET power MOSFET as the 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. These units exceed the performance capabilities of electromechanical relays in operating life, sensitivity, stability of on-resistance, miniaturization, insensitivity to magnetic fields and ruggedess. The compact PVG612 is particularly suited for isolated switching of high currents from 12 to 48 Volt AC or DC power sources. Series PVG612 Relays are packaged in a 6-pin, molded DIP package with either through-hole or surface mount (gull-wing) terminals. It is available in standard plastic shipping tubes or on tape-and-reel. Please refer to Part Identification information opposite.
