PVG612APBF

Series PVG612APbF Microelectronic Power IC HEXFET® Power MOSFET Photovoltaic Relay Single-Pole, Normally-Open, 0-60V, 2.0A AC / 4.0A DC General Description The PVG612A Series Photovoltaic Relay is a single-pole, 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 PVG612A is particularly suited for isolated switching of high currents from 12 to 48 Volt AC or DC power sources. Series PVG612A Relays are packaged in a 6pin, molded DIP package with either thru-hole or surface mount (gull-wing) terminals. It is available in standard plastic shipping tubes or on tape-andreel.
