PVN012S-T

The PVN012 Series Photovoltaic Relay at 100 milliohms features the lowest possible on-state resistance in a miniature package - lower than a comparable reed relay.

The PVN012 is a single-pole, normally open solidstate relay. It utilizes a GenerationV HEXFET 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 PVN012 Relays are packaged in a 6-lead molded DIP package with either through-hole or surface mount (gull-wing) terminals. They are available in standard plastic shipping tubes or on tapeand- reel. Please refer to part identification informatio opposite.
