## **Series PVN012APbF** LC 

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. 

## **Features** 

50mΩ On-Resistance Bounce-free Operation 4.0 - 6.0 Amp Capacity Linear AC/DC Operation 4,000 VRMS I/O Isolation Solid-State Reliability UL Recognized ESD Tolerance: 4000V Human Body Model 500V Machine Model 

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. 

## **Applications**
