PVG612S-T

The PVG612S-T Series Photovoltaic Relay is a singlepole, normally open solid-state relay that can replace electromechanical relays in many applications.

PVG612S-T 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 PVG612S-T 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 PVG612S-T 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.
