PVN012APBF 20V 1 Form A Photo Voltaic Relay in a 6-pin DIP Package0 pages

Data Sheet No. PD 10064 revC
Series PVN012APbF
Microelectronic Power IC
HEXFET® Power MOSFET Photovoltaic Relay
Single Pole, Normally Open, 0-20V, 4.0A AC/ 6.0A DC
General Description
The PVN012A Series Photovoltaic Relay at 50
milliohms features the lowest possible on-state
resistance in a miniature package — lower than a
comparable reed relay.
The PVN012A is a single-pole, normally open solidstate
relay. It utilizes a HEXFET® MOSFET 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 life, sensitivity, stable onresistance,
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 tapeand-
reel. Please refer to part identification information.
